Town halls the whole company understands, wherever they are
A company with offices in three countries holds its all-hands in one language. Everyone else gets the words and loses the nuance, which is where the message lives.

The problem in an all-hands
- 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.
- The recording is archived without captions, so nobody goes back to it.
How it is set up
In the room, remote, or both
A room microphone, the computer’s audio, or both summed into one channel.
Zoom, Teams, Meet and Webex
It listens to the operator’s computer audio, so no platform has to approve anything.
Captions go to the room screen
And into the signal if the meeting is streamed.
Each person picks a language
On their phone, in the room or in another country.
What staff get
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 it onto the screen and it is answered out loud.
Vote live
Yes/no, A/B/C/D, or up to six answers. Results are projected.
Location does not matter
The room and the other office use the same link.
What you get afterwards
Decisions and actions with an owner
In a table, not prose, each with the real time it was said.
Who said what
The name is typed by the technician. No algorithm guesses it.
Votes land inside the minutes
Every poll result and launched question is folded into the document.
Where it shows
The speaker name is typed by a person
Automatic detection guesses, and minutes that attribute a decision wrongly are worse than minutes that do not attribute it.
No per-attendee or per-language charge
A thousand employees in nine languages costs what fifty in one costs.
The live path stores nothing
Unless somebody asks for AI minutes or keeps the transcript when closing the app, and either is deleted after thirty days.
No bot joins the meeting
Nothing for the platform to block and nothing in the participant list.
Event Pro
Translation into 58 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, tested against the real Companion, and a TCP and HTTP API that a Crestron, AMX or Q-SYS panel can drive (not yet tested on that hardware), 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.
