Simultaneous interpreting function
The simultaneous interpreting function offers you the opportunity to follow multilingual meetings, conversations and events live without language barriers. Relay interpreting is possible as well, allowing you to offer the participants in your alfaview room as many different languages as possible.
The interpreter will be displayed next to the VIPs in the alfaview room and the participants decide whether they want to listen to the original audio or the interpreted version. If the participants activate the simultaneous interpreting function, the volume of the presenting speaker is reduced and the interpreter can be heard louder.
