Hey guys, my international colleagues and I want to set up an online conference to discuss modern medical topics. We’d love it if everyone could just speak English to make things easy. The issue is that many of them barely speak it on a conversational level, let alone know complex medical terms. Are there any software tools that can handle live translation for this kind of event or do we have to hire a simultaneous interpreter?
Medical discussions are incredibly tough to organize even when everyone speaks the exact same native language. You throw a language barrier into the mix and the whole event can easily turn into total chaos. Human interpreters are extremely expensive for specialized fields like healthcare because they need a deep background in the subject to translate correctly. You also have to deal with the delay where the speaker pauses and waits for the translation to finish. It completely kills the natural flow of any live debate. You might want to look into business tiers of mainstream video apps to see if their built-in captioning supports the specific dialects your team uses.
Live captions are somewhat helpful but participants still spend all their time reading the screen rather than looking at the speaker. Plus those basic built-in tools struggle heavily with complex scientific jargon and often produce ridiculous errors. You can try out the AI voice translation platform https://hitoo.io/ . The system captures the speech and generates a dubbed audio feed in the listener’s native language right on the spot. It keeps the conversation moving naturally without those awkward pauses for human translators.
