Interprefy, a multilingual meeting technology and services provider, has rolled out Interprefy Now, a new product which provides instant, AI-powered live translation (audio and text captions) on the smartphone.
Once users or companies subscribe to Interperfy Now, they will gain access to the only small- to medium-sized professional meeting interpretation solution good for up to 30 people. Attendees can jump into multilingual conversations using a smartphone without any pre-meeting booking or technical setup of specialist equipment.
Existing solutions for small meetings are typically tied to specific meeting/ conference rooms through the use of specialist AV equipment. Consecutive interpretation software for use on the go is typically only suitable for two-way conversations, and not for multi-person professional meetings.
Oddmund Braaten, CEO at Interprefy, said: “If you’ve ever needed to communicate with people who speak a different language than yours in a professional situation, and don’t want to extend your meeting’s duration with consecutive interpretation or have equipment for simultaneous interpretation, then Interprefy Now is for you.”
Braaten continued: “… For large multilingual events, we have our flagship mobile app. This is ideal for large, pre-planned events or conferences with a high number of attendees. With Interprefy Now we are providing the capability for instant access to live translation for smaller, more personal meetings, through the mobile app and subscription plans.”
As well as small business meetings, Interprefy Now can also be used for guided tours, where the tour guide’s voice is translated live. Visitors also do not need specialist equipment, which significantly reduces the cost for the tour guide and inconvenience for the customer. Moreover, Interprefy Now allows customers to interact and ask questions in their language and everyone (including the guide) will understand.
