What is an AI Simultaneous Interpretation System (SIS)?

An AI SIS provides real-time translation of a live speaker's voice into multiple languages simultaneously. Pikka Speech supports event organisers and professional language teams with live audio, captions, listener access, and transcripts so multilingual events are easier to deliver.

Do attendees need to download an app to use Pikka Speech?

No. Attendees scan a QR code or open a short URL on their own smartphone, pick their language, and listen through their headphones in the browser. There is no app store detour, no account creation, and no setup wizard.

How many languages does Pikka Speech support?

Pikka Speech delivers real-time interpretation across more than 70 languages and major dialects. Each attendee can pick their own language independently, so a single speaker can address a 70-language audience in parallel without any extra setup.

What's the latency between the speaker and the listeners?

Listeners typically hear translated audio 1–3 seconds behind the speaker, depending on the language pair. That matches what professional human simultaneous interpreters deliver, and is well within the range that audiences perceive as live.

How does pricing compare to hiring human interpreters?

A traditional 5-language conference day commonly costs $20,000–$40,000+ once you add interpreter fees, booth rental, IR transmitters, and headset receivers. Pikka Speech adds a flexible AI-supported option for events that need broader multilingual access, captions, and transcript outputs without the same hardware footprint.

Can I record the event and export transcripts afterward?

Yes. Every Pikka Speech room produces a recording of the original speech plus full transcripts in every language you offered. Export as TXT, DOCX, SRT, or VTT for replay, captioning your video recap, or feeding into your CMS and learning management systems.

What if the venue Wi-Fi is unreliable?

Pikka Speech is bandwidth-light — each attendee uses roughly the data of a podcast stream. The platform also gracefully falls back to text-only captions if a listener's connection degrades, so no one drops out completely. For high-stakes events we recommend a dedicated speaker uplink and rehearsal mode the day before.

Is Pikka Speech secure enough for confidential investor or board events?

Yes. Audio and translations are encrypted in transit, room access can be PIN-protected or restricted by allow-listed email domain, and audio is never used to train public AI models. Enterprise plans add SSO, audit logs, configurable retention, and EU/US/APAC data residency.

Does Pikka Speech work for hybrid events that mix in-room and remote attendees?

Yes. The same room link works for in-person attendees holding their phones, remote attendees joining from anywhere, and Zoom/Teams/Webex broadcasts. There is no separate hybrid setup — every listener gets the same translated stream regardless of where they are.

Soundproof booths, IR receivers, venue setup, and headset distribution can slow down event planning.
Limited by physical space and the number of available headsets.

Lectures, sermons, and community gatherings reach every attendee in the language they grew up with — without the side-room interpreter, without the secondhand summary.

The math, for one typical event day.

Real numbers from a 5-language, 8-hour conference. Pikka Speech isn't cheaper by 10% — it's a category change.

300 IR receivers + headsets, deposit and rental$4,500
On-site AV technician for the SI system$1,500

Booths, headsets, AV technician$0

Production-ready, not a science project.

The four things every event organiser asks before going live — answered up front.

Bandwidth-light streams

Listener stream sits at podcast-level bandwidth and falls back to text captions on weak links. Hotel Wi-Fi survives.

Private by default

Encrypted in transit, never used to train public AI, with PIN-protected rooms and email-domain allow-lists for confidential events.

Recordings & transcripts

Every event auto-saves the source audio plus a transcript in every language you offered. Export TXT, DOCX, SRT, or VTT.

Rehearsal mode

Run the full room days ahead at zero cost. Speakers practice, AV teams test mics, and you walk in with no surprises on show day.
