Live conference translation
BabelStone listens to your speaker, translates as they talk, and streams live captions to each attendee in the language they choose — on their own phone, from a single link. No headsets, no app downloads, no interpreter booths.
BabelStone is a live conference translation platform for multilingual events. It turns one speaker into real-time, multi-language captions so international audiences can read along in their preferred language while the talk is happening — a modern, software-based alternative to renting interpreter hardware for every room.
As your speaker talks, BabelStone transcribes their speech and translates it on the fly. Each attendee picks a language and sees a live, continuously updating caption stream — so a single session reaches a room (or a live stream) full of different languages at once.
Share a link or QR code. Attendees open it in any mobile or desktop browser, choose their language, and start reading. There is no app to download and no hardware to hand out, so onboarding a multilingual audience takes seconds.
Every session is captured as a searchable transcript in each language. Organisers get analytics — audience by language, engagement and session duration — and attendees can ask questions and get answers grounded in what was actually said.
BabelStone is self-hosted, so your event audio and transcripts stay on servers you run. It fits conferences, corporate town halls, worship services, lectures and public-sector meetings alike.
Live conference translation converts a speaker's words into other languages in real time so a multilingual audience can follow along as they talk. BabelStone does this with automatic speech recognition and machine translation, delivering the result as on-screen captions each attendee reads in their chosen language.
No. Attendees open a link or scan a QR code in any modern browser, pick a language, and read the live captions. There is nothing to install and no hardware to distribute.
Languages are configured per event, so you enable the ones your audience needs. Each attendee independently chooses the language they want to read.
Human interpreters are excellent for high-stakes, nuanced sessions but are costly to scale to many languages and rooms. BabelStone adds languages in software at a fraction of the cost and works instantly from a link — many events use it to broaden reach alongside, or instead of, interpreter hardware.
