Summary
SINHRON provides browser-based simultaneous interpretation for live and hybrid events.
About
SINHRON digitizes the delivery of simultaneous interpretation for in-person and hybrid events, connecting professional interpreters and attendees through a browser-based workflow.
SINHRON is a browser-based platform for simultaneous interpreters and event organizers. It streams audio using WebRTC and lets attendees listen on their smartphones by scanning a QR code, without dedicated hardware receivers. The platform includes an interpreter workspace with handover and relay tools. It is intended for large events and hybrid conferences, and supports remote work by interpreters.
Key Features
WebRTC-based audio streaming designed for low latency
Smartphone access for attendees through a QR code
No dedicated hardware receivers required for attendees
Interpreter workspace with handover and relay tools
Support for remote interpreters and hybrid conferences
Real-World Use Cases
Multilingual conferences
Event organizers can provide interpreted audio to attendees using smartphones rather than distributing dedicated receivers.
Hybrid events
Organizers can use the browser-based platform to support simultaneous interpretation for events with remote and in-person participants.
Remote interpreter operations
Interpreters can work remotely and use handover and relay tools within a dedicated workspace.
Business Opportunities
Reduce event interpretation logistics
Problem: Events requiring interpretation may need to distribute and manage dedicated audio receivers for attendees.
Solution: Use smartphone access through QR codes to deliver interpreted audio without dedicated attendee receivers.
Estimated ROI: Potential savings in receiver procurement and distribution, offset by platform and event setup costs; financial impact is not specified.
Execution: Integrate the platform into event registration and attendee instructions, and provide QR-code access to interpretation channels.
Expand remote interpreter capacity
Problem: In-person interpreter workflows can constrain staffing and complicate coordination across languages and event locations.
Solution: Use the remote interpreter workspace and its handover and relay tools to support distributed interpreter teams.
Estimated ROI: Potentially broader access to remote interpreters and reduced travel needs; actual returns depend on event volume and operating costs.
Execution: Establish remote operating procedures, assign interpreter roles, and test handovers and audio quality before each event.
