Interprefy’s approach to achieving real-time audio translation excellence is unique: “We have spent the last few years developing an AI-benchmarking platform that assesses the best engine for each language combination. By bringing the best AI technology together with our years of experience, thousands of events supported, and our technical expertise, we believe we have produced the most accurate and flexible AI speech translation tool available on the market today,” Oddmund Braaten, CEO at Interprefy, said.

Aivia completes Interprefy’s world-renowned end-to-end remote simultaneous and sign language interpretation offering by providing a cost-effective AI-powered real-time translation solution for scenarios like webinars, training, town halls, or conferences.

According to Braaten, AI is no substitute for professional interpreters in certain scenarios: “Especially in diplomatic conversations, or regulatory sessions, a skilled linguist will continue to outperform AI, as they are able to read the audience and provide nuanced localisation to accommodate sarcasm, humor, or idioms.”

While remote interpretation technology continues to grow the demand for simultaneous interpretation, AI can provide a high-quality solution for market segments where nuance is rare: “Aivia can provide language access where the support from professional interpreters is considered impractical or unaffordable. Simultaneous interpretation is still a premium service today, and AI can help make language access available for a wide range of organisations and events with smaller budgets”, Braaten concludes.
