Bring your interpreters. Every phone in the room can hear them.
Your interpreters work from a booth in the browser, at the venue or at home. Guests choose them on their own phone, right next to captions and an AI voice for the languages you don’t staff.
Your people where it matters. AI everywhere else.
Most events can staff one or two languages with people. The rest of the room still deserves to understand. InterScribe puts both in the same list, on the same phone.
A remote booth in the browser
Send your interpreters an invitation. They sign in, check their sound and take a channel, from the venue’s back room or their own kitchen table. No booth to hire, no receivers to hand out.
Handover without dead air
Partners swap in one tap. The colleague taking over has to accept, and the first interpreter keeps the channel until they do, so it is never left unattended.
AI covers the languages you don’t staff
Portuguese with a person, Spanish with an AI voice, captions in every language we support. If an interpreter steps away, an AI voice can hold their channel until they are back on air.
Guests choose for themselves
They scan the QR code, open “Listen in” and pick an interpreter or an AI voice. Captions stay on underneath either one. Nothing to install.

A real person in their ear. The words on screen too.
Dona Lúcia presses Listen and hears Elena in Portuguese. If she misses a word, it is on the screen, with the English original underneath. The green “Interpreter” tag tells her a person is speaking, not a machine.
No separate receiver queue for the interpreted language.
An interpreter for the talk, an AI voice for the breakout with no booth.
Work from the InterScribe booth.
The booth opens in your browser. You hear the floor, you speak into your language channel, and your partner is one tap away. The first time you open it, it says what we mean: “You are the reason someone will understand tonight.”
What you need
- A computer with an up-to-date browser
- Headphones and a microphone, ideally a headset
- A steady upload connection: a cable beats Wi-Fi
- An invitation from the organiser
You hold Português. The mic bar says you are on air, and your output meter shows your voice going out. M cough-mutes, H hands over.
Drawn from the booth we ship: the Floor, Booth and Chat panes, the mic bar and the request banner. Session, names and lines are examples.
Hear the floor clean
You hear the session’s own audio feed, the one the captions are made from, not a phone held up to a speaker. Your own volume, your own headphones.
Captions as support, not a script
The floor is transcribed as it is spoken. Names and numbers are there when you need them; a wavy line marks what the machine wasn’t sure of.
Honest signals from listeners
“Some listeners find it a bit fast.” You see the pattern, never who sent it. Comments go to your coordinator.
A signer beside the captions, on every screen.
A human interpreter signs the session from their own camera. Deaf and hard-of-hearing guests choose a sign language and see the interpreter in a window next to the captions.
You add a sign language to the session
Pick the interpreter’s sign language, such as American Sign Language, British Sign Language, Libras or Auslan (17 in the list today). Choose “Interpreter camera”, or “External video” if the signer is already on your own stream, and add a viewer note like “Main stage” if you want one.
The interpreter opens their camera booth
First invite them to your workspace as an Interpreter: that role carries the booth permission, and without it the camera booth turns them away. Then copy the link and send it. They sign in with their InterScribe account, frame themselves from the waist up with hands and face in view, and press “Go on air”. The camera booth sends video only.
Guests tap “Sign”
They choose a sign language and the interpreter appears. On a computer the window floats or docks and can be made larger; on a phone it opens as a sheet that never covers the newest caption.
Sign language channels are in beta and come with selected plans: talk to a person to switch them on. External video can run a few seconds behind the captions, and viewers are told so.
Your interpreters, every client, one booth.
An interpreter who works for several organisations sees “Which booth?” when they sign in, and picks the client they are working for now. Nothing to install between jobs. If you place interpreters at events and want to bring InterScribe to your clients, let’s talk about how we work together.

See your priceWhat interpreters and organisers ask us
Ask us something elseHow much delay do listeners hear?
Your interpreter’s voice reaches phones over the internet, so it runs a little behind what someone sitting next to a booth would hear. An AI voice translates before it speaks, so it runs a little further behind. We don’t promise a figure: a steady upload connection at the venue and at the interpreter’s desk matters most.
Where does the interpreter’s audio come from, and what do they need?
Interpreters hear the session’s own feed, from your sound desk or the computer sending the floor, not the noise of the room. They need headphones, a microphone and a steady connection. The booth can test the connection before they go on air, and a cable is the steadiest.
How does partner handover work?
The interpreter on air chooses “Hand over my channel” and picks a colleague, or the colleague asks for the channel. Whoever receives an offer has to accept, and the first interpreter stays on air until they do. When a colleague asks, the holder can keep the channel or hand it over; if they do neither, it moves when the countdown runs out.
Can we mix AI and human interpreters in one event?
Yes, that is the usual set-up. People for the languages you can staff, an AI voice for others, captions in every language we support. Listeners see which is which: a green “Interpreter” tag or an amber “AI voice” tag.
Who pays the interpreters?
You do, directly, as you would today. InterScribe charges for your plan or your event; the interpreter’s fee is between you and them or their agency.
Do you provide interpreters?
Not on the self-serve plans. If you need help finding interpreters, talk to a person and we will plan it with you.
