Let attendees read or listen to live translation
Available from 10 November 2026. Speech-to-Speech adds spoken translation to Soundshape. Attendees can read live captions and translated text, or listen to the translation on their own device.
When language gets in the way, part of the event gets lost
At international events, not every attendee can comfortably follow the language being spoken on stage.
Captions and translated text already make live content easier to follow. With Speech-to-Speech, attendees get another option: listening to the translation.
That means more people can choose the way that works best for them during the event.
How it works:
The Problems We Solve
The content is translated
Attendees select the language they want to follow.
They choose how to follow
They can read the translation or listen to the spoken translation.
Designed for the live event experience
Keep listening with your phone locked
The translated audio can continue playing when an attendee locks their phone. They do not need to keep the screen active throughout the session.
Read or listen on your own device
Attendees can read the translated text or listen to spoken translation on their own device.
Combine audio and text in one proposition
Speech-to-Speech extends Soundshape alongside live captions and translated text, giving organisers and AV teams more ways to support their audience.
Built around Soundshape
"With Speech-to-Speech, you give your audience more choice: read the translation or listen to it. All within Soundshape, built around the AV setup of your event."
