Live Spanish Translation for Live Events & Conferences
How to provide real-time Spanish translation for live events & conferences — live captions and spoken translation with no interpreter booth, no headsets, and no app for the audience.
Why Spanish translation matters for live events & conferences
Spanish is by far the most spoken non-English language in the United States — over 40 million people speak it at home, and many organizations serve communities where Spanish is the primary language. Spanish (español) is spoken by about 590 million people worldwide.
Interpretation booths, headsets, and per-language interpreter teams price most events out of offering translation at all. Broadcast-style live translation flips the model: one speaker feed, unlimited languages, and every attendee uses the phone already in their pocket.
Spanish varies across regions — Mexican, Caribbean, Central American, and European Spanish differ in vocabulary and pace. Interpret AI handles regional variation automatically, so speakers can talk naturally.
How to set it up
- Create a broadcast room for the session. Set up a room in Interpret AI and post the QR code on screens, badges, or programs. Attendees scan it and choose from 70+ languages.
- Feed it the stage audio. Run Interpret AI on a laptop connected to the soundboard — or simply near the PA. The talk is transcribed and translated live for every listener simultaneously.
- Scale to the room you have. Ten listeners or five hundred — each attendee reads captions in their own language, and no one is waiting on headset inventory.
- Publish the transcript afterward. Speakers and organizers get a full multilingual transcript for recaps, accessibility archives, and content repurposing.
Try it in the next five minutes: the free plan includes credits that renew every month — enough to run a real event in Spanish today.

Listener capacity scales with your plan — from small rooms on the free tier up to hundreds of concurrent listeners on Pro and custom limits for enterprise events.

Just a phone with a browser. They scan a QR code, pick a language, and read along — no app, no headset, no account.
