Conference Hall Magnifier

For conference organizers, a configuration designed and developed in order to facilitate the communication during a conference environment when there are participants (in situ or remotely) who do not master perfectly a common language.

By ‘Conference’ we cover large groups of people gathering in big venues, or business conferences where a small number of people are involved.

This solution is applicable only with the written consent of the conference organiser, who is responsible for all invitations and technical aspects. The participants may listen to the dedicated channels of simultaneous interpretation through their own devices (smartphones/tablets/laptops) and their corresponding individual headsets. They simply have to connect to the local wi-fi and activate the code key the organiser has provided them with. The conference organiser is the sole responsible for the distribution of the code keys giving access to Catalava’s interpretation services. After the participant’s connection (technical requirements), there are no special operations or commands to be carried out.

Whatever is said on microphone can be interpreted in one or many languages simultaneously, according to the organiser’s desiderata. A virtual videoconference room (screenshot) links the consecutive speakers (their image being generated under the organiser’s responsibility) and the interpreters. Your interpreter(s) will translate simultaneously (offensive and/or not recommended use of language) on a dedicated sound channel which is not interfering with the sound in the conference room. Not only the speakers can speak undisturbed without having to care about the translation, but as soon as they will have finished, your audience might want to react immediately in the chosen language, allowing everybody to listen to the translation loud and clear, without delay, without any special commands or equipment.

Boards and Meetings

ENCRYPTION

For closed fora purposes, catalava.com is using a 128 bit encryption code with unique keys changing even during the conference, assuring maximum security. Your interpreters are certified, experienced professionals, and the absolute confidentiality to which they are committed is their guarantee for their own professional survival, and their main advantage compared to any other occasional facilitator. 

LIABILITY - RECORDING

Moreover, in order to offer to our customers a maximum of quality guaranties, all sessions can be recorded (only the sound), for liability purposes. You have a 72 hours period of time during which you might present any concern about the interpretation. After this time period no complaint can be filed, and our liability is not engaged any more. This service allows you to ask for the recordings (with the consent of the coordinator), or you can order a transcript in any language of the meeting (from the interpretation or through the transcription of the original speech and a full written translation of it) for your own records.
