The families who could not follow the meeting
A school does not become multilingual by sending the newsletter through a translator. It becomes multilingual when a parent hears the head teacher in their own language, live, on the phone already in their hand.

Live translation built for the hall, not for the desk
This translates one person speaking to a room: a lecture, an assembly, a parent evening, a governors' or school board meeting, an open day. Everyone who wants it opens a link and picks a language; nobody installs anything and nobody signs in, which matters when the audience is parents rather than staff. It is not a tool for a two-way conversation across a desk — for a private meeting with one family, an interpreter on the phone is still the right answer, and we would rather say so here than have you find out in front of them.
- No app and no account for families
- No per-student or per-seat licence
- Captions for deaf and hard-of-hearing students
- Your own subject vocabulary, loaded once
Good morning everyone, and thank you for joining today's global session. It's wonderful to see so many of you connecting from around the world.
Getting it into a school
- 1
Start with the meeting you already repeat
The termly parent evening is the right first one. It comes round again, so you learn which languages families actually pick instead of guessing from enrolment forms.
- 2
Load the words only your school uses
Exam names, year groups, the acronyms in every letter home. A glossary set once applies to every session opened after you save it.
- 3
Put the code where families already look
A permanent link keeps the same address all year, so it belongs on the newsletter and the door, not in a message resent before every event.
- 4
Read the numbers before adding languages
After two events the per-language counts tell you which languages are real. A language nobody picked costs nothing, so there is no penalty for having guessed.
Where schools use it
Every one of these is one voice and an audience — which is exactly the shape this fits.
Parent evenings and information nights
The talk about next year's exams reaches every family the same way, at the same time, instead of arriving second-hand a week later.
Lectures and seminars
International students follow in their own language and keep the transcript afterwards. Load the module's terminology first and it comes out right the first time.
Board and governors' meetings
Public meetings that have to be followable by the community they serve, including the part of it that does not share the language of the minutes.
Students who are deaf or hard of hearing
Captions in the language actually being spoken, on their own screen, with text size and contrast they control. It takes none of the five language slots.
Assemblies and open days
A visiting family understands the tour. A permanent link on the printed programme works for every event of the year.
A record for revision
Every language the AI translated is kept as text, with untranscribed stretches marked rather than quietly closed up.

Common questions
Can we use it for a parent-teacher conversation?
Not well, and we would rather be straight about it. This carries one speaker to an audience: the parent hears the teacher, but the teacher does not hear the parent back. For a private two-way meeting, a telephone interpreter is still the right tool. Use this for the parts of the evening where one person is presenting to the room.
Do parents need an account or an app?
No. A parent opens a link or types a six-character code in their browser and picks a language. That is deliberate — a school cannot realistically ask every family to install something and create an account before a meeting starts.
Does this meet our accessibility duties?
It helps and it does not discharge them. Captions in the language being spoken are genuinely useful to students and parents who are deaf or hard of hearing, but where the law names a specific provision — a qualified sign language interpreter, or a certified assistive listening system — this is not a substitute for it. Ask whoever advises you on that, not us.
How does it handle subject terminology?
You load a glossary of your own terms and it is applied to every session opened after you save it. That is where most of the quality comes from in a school: the general language is fine out of the box, and the words that go wrong are your exam names, your qualifications and your acronyms.
What does a parent evening actually cost?
One credit is about a minute in one language. An hour-long evening translated into two languages that people actually listened to is around 120 credits. A third language you enabled and nobody selected is free, so there is no reason to be cautious about offering one.
Can a teaching assistant interpret instead?
Yes, for one language at a time, on the same broadcast. Somebody on your staff who already speaks it takes that language and speaks it themselves; the rest stay on AI and listeners can switch between the two. While they stay with the person that language runs no AI so you pay the connection rather than the translation. Switching to the AI starts it billing normally.
