What is the sound delay between the speaker and the interpretation on Interprefy's interpretation platform?
Latency is a very short period of delay, between when an audio signal enters a system and when it emerges. The Interprefy platform has near-zero transmission latency.
The delay in Interprefy's platform is below 0.2s and unnoticeable, so no different from any event where interpreting would take place in person.
Interprefy's platform is hosted in the cloud, with software installed on a network of multiple redundant servers deployed around the world. Such distributed cloud set-up with an extensive global network of servers has advantages in comparison to local installation:
- it allows much higher reliability
- it has a lower delay
- it provides a higher quality of audio and video transmission.
In a nutshell, Interprefy joins the broadcast and the audio signal enters Interprefy’s interpretation platform. Interpreters listen to the speaker in real time and deliver simultaneous interpretation in another language without added technical delay.
The interpreter usually renders the spoken translation of the source message within approximately 5 seconds, which reflects the natural time it takes the human brain to process information, according to industry standards. The attendee receives the interpreted audio at virtually the same time as the speaker is talking, with no more delay than they would experience at an on-site event.
The same near-real-time transmission applies to Interprefy’s AI speech translation and AI-powered captions, where spoken content is processed and delivered with minimal delay to support multilingual communication across virtual, hybrid, and on-site events.
