How it works in Bangkok
Our engineer on site
Our engineer sets up next to your audio desk with our own laptop, audio interface and cables, takes one line output from the console and sound checks with the venue’s AV team before doors.
Guests scan and choose
Guests scan a QR code on the screen, signage or seat card and pick their language. No app, no account, up to 500 audience phones.
Phones, screens and stream
The same captions reach phones, surtitles on the big screen and a transparent overlay for your livestream, about two seconds after each sentence.
Planning live translation for an event in Bangkok
- Send the agenda, speaker names, company and product terms a week before, so they appear correctly in every language.
- Ask the venue’s AV team for one line output from the mixer and a table with power next to the audio desk for our engineer.
- Book a wired internet line for that table in large halls, where shared Wi-Fi gets busy.
- Put the QR code on the stage screens, signage and seat cards, and mention it in the opening remarks.
- Plan a short sound check with our engineer before doors open on each day.
