Town halls the whole company understands, wherever they are
A company with offices in three countries holds its all-hands in one language and assumes everyone else copes. They cope halfway: they get the words and lose the nuance, which is where the message lives.
What gets lost
- Half the room follows a strategy session in their second language and does not ask, to avoid exposing themselves.
- Minutes are written from memory and arrive three days later without who committed to what.
- The remote half hears worse and participates less, every time.
- The recording is archived without captions, so in practice nobody goes back to it.
How it is set up
In the room, remote, or both
It can listen to a room microphone, the computer’s own audio, or both summed into one channel.
Works with Zoom, Teams, Meet and Webex
Without joining as a bot and without any platform having to approve anything, because it listens to the operator’s own computer audio.
Captions go to the room screen
And into the signal if the meeting is streamed.
Each person picks a language on their phone
Including whoever is following from another country.
What changes for the listener
Follow in your language without asking
Nobody has to say out loud that they do not speak the meeting’s language.
Ask from a phone, in your language
The moderator launches the question onto the screen and whoever is on stage answers out loud.
Vote live
Yes/no, yes/no/abstain, A/B/C/D, or up to six answers the moderator types. Results are projected.
Location does not matter
The person in the room and the one dialled in from another office use the same link.
The minutes nobody wants to write
Decisions and actions with an owner and a date
In a table, not prose, each with the real time it was said.
Who said what
With one microphone per speaker the name is typed by the technician and reaches the minutes. No algorithm guesses it.
Votes land inside the minutes
The result of every poll and every launched question is folded into the document.
What you will not find elsewhere
The speaker name is typed by a person
Automatic speaker detection guesses, and minutes that attribute a decision to the wrong person are worse than minutes that attribute it to nobody.
No per-attendee charge
Or per language. Two thousand employees in nine languages costs what fifty in one costs.
The live path stores nothing
What is said in a strategy meeting is kept on no server of ours unless somebody asks for AI minutes, and those are deleted after thirty days.
No bot joins the meeting
We listen to the operator’s computer audio, so there is nothing for the platform to block and nothing in the participant list.
Event Pro
Translation into fifty-plus languages and two microphones. Broadcast Multi-Mic for a four-person panel.
Frequently asked questions
Does anything need installing in Zoom or Teams?
No. The app listens to the computer’s own audio, so it works with any platform and none has to approve anything. For Zoom there is also the option of pushing captions into its native bar, if the host supplies the token.
Can a competitor read along with the code?
The room code is not a confidentiality control: whoever holds it can read. For a closed session, use the room screen only and do not publish the code.
Can it be driven from the control room?
Yes. There is a local control API for Bitfocus Companion, Crestron, AMX and Q-SYS, with a real on-air tally.
What about multi-day conventions?
Subscription plans do not cap simultaneous events, and a room code can be reserved up to ninety days ahead to print in the delegate pack.
