What is a voice translator app?
A voice translator app uses AI to convert spoken language into another language in real time. It delivers either live captions or translated audio (or both) directly to a user’s device, helping multilingual audiences engage without barriers.
How do voice translator apps work at events?
Voice translator apps capture live audio from speakers, convert speech into text, translate it into the selected language, and send it to attendees’ devices via captions or audio. No downloads or special equipment needed.
Which languages do voice translator apps support?
Most high-quality solutions, like Wordly, support dozens of input and output languages to meet global event needs.
Do I need to download a voice translator app to use it at an event?
Not with browser-based options like Wordly. Just scan a QR code or click a link — no installation or login required.
Can voice translator apps be used at small events or internal meetings?
Yes. Voice translation tools are fully scalable – from one-on-one meetings to global conferences.
Can I customize terminology in a voice translator app?
Yes. Many translation tools, like Wordly, support customizable glossaries so you can tailor terminology, acronyms, and brand-specific language.
Held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, CMEE is the largest and longest-running trade show for Canada’s event industry. It connects planners, venues, tech providers, and vendors through two days of networking, education, and innovation.
At CMEE 2025, Wordly showcased how voice translator apps are modernizing communication – making it easier for event planners to offer multilingual access across any format: in-person, hybrid, or virtual. From live demos to hands-on tutorials, we gave attendees a front-row look at the future of translation technology.
