What you rent in booths and receivers, on the audience’s own phones
A booth, a console, a transmitter, receivers and somebody to hand them out exist to carry one voice from an interpreter to an ear. If the room already carries screens and earphones, that kit has no job left.

What gets rented, and what each piece is for
An ISO booth per language so the interpreter does not hear themselves; a console to switch channels; an infrared or radio transmitter; one receiver and earpiece per attendee; and somebody to hand them out, collect them and count them. All of that moves audio. The part you are actually buying (that someone translates) is only the first piece.
What the rental costs
- Receivers are quoted per unit per day, so the cost grows with headcount.
- Somebody has to stand at the door handing them out and counting them back in, and losses get invoiced.
- The booth takes floor space and needs rigging and de-rigging, with the technician hours that go with it.
- And if attendance grows the week before, the receiver count was closed weeks ago.
What replaces each piece
The booth and the interpreter → speech recognition and machine translation
Room audio comes in on the desk’s card, the same feed you already send to record.
The transmitter and the receiver → the attendee’s phone
They scan a QR code and they are in. No app, no account, no sign-up.
The per-language channel → each person’s own choice
Up to 12 languages at once in one event, from a catalogue of 58, changeable whenever they like.
The earpiece → their own earphones
If they would rather listen than read, the phone reads the translation aloud.
The person handing them out → nobody
The room code is reserved up to ninety days ahead and printed in the programme.
What it also includes
Captions on the big screen
Inside your video signal, over NDI with a real alpha channel.
Accessibility, not only language
Somebody hard of hearing gets the text in the language being spoken. A booth gives them nothing.
Minutes the next morning
Decisions and action items with an owner and a due date, plus the full transcript.
An audience report
How many devices followed the session and in which languages. The evidence a grant report asks for.
Where a booth still wins
When nuance carries legal consequences
A negotiation, a court hearing, a board meeting with binding minutes: hire a person.
When the language is not in the catalogue
There are 58 and they cover nearly everything, but not everything. Check before you book the room.
When the audience has no signal
In a basement with no coverage the venue screen works and the phones do not.
Where this fits
It replaces the interpretation nobody budgets for, which is most languages at most events.
Event Pro
The first plan that translates. A one-month pass covers a full conference day, and hours are metered from GO ON AIR to STOP, so breaks cost nothing.
Frequently asked questions
Is there really nothing to hand out?
Nothing. The attendee uses their own phone and their own browser. No receivers to charge, count, clean or replace.
What about people without a phone?
That is what the venue screen is for: captions also leave over NDI to your switcher, over HDMI with a chroma key, or on any TV in the building by opening a web address. Nobody has to use a phone to follow the event in the language being spoken.
How large an audience does it take?
Five thousand concurrent phones in one room, measured against the deployed system with no refused connections. We recommend selling five hundred to a thousand per event.
Does each language cost more?
No. Neither per language nor per attendee. What is billed is on-air hours and the number of microphones in the plan.
