ST. LOUIS, Jan. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A new
app is set to revolutionize the way global teams meet, communicate,
and serve customers through scalable, cost-effective virtual
language interpretation. The Conference Interpreting App also
provides meeting data analytics that have never before been
available for monitoring engagement and participation metrics of
multilingual teams in real time.
AAA Translation, a company dedicated to providing professional
translation, interpretation, localization, and global consulting
services, partnered with ProLingo, a leading interpretation
technology and audio-visual provider, to launch the new Conference
Interpreting App, leveraging both companies' strengths to allow
human interpreters to serve clients remotely and
collaboratively.
"The strategic alliance between AAA Translation and ProLingo
brings the opportunity to streamline and improve communication for
global conferences, meetings and organizations and achieve
unprecedented efficiencies and cost savings," said Susanne Evens, CEO of AAA Translation.
Live interpreting is vital to transmit contextual information in
a business setting, but when companies found themselves conducting
much of their business online in 2020, most were left without an
acceptable interpreting protocol. Virtual events exploded in growth
during the pandemic—evidenced by Eventbrite reporting a 1,000%
increase in April 2020 over the same
month the previous year. Those numbers will level off as companies
move to hybrid models post-pandemic, but for most industries,
virtual meetings are here to stay in some form.
"Human interpreters must work collaboratively with clients,
especially on large-scale events, often going back and forth within
presentations and sessions. In person, this happens in a
translation booth where hand signals and notes exchanged allow
translators to work in tandem," said Evens.
"The Conference Interpreting App allows this type of
collaboration to happen remotely in real time and gives clients
powerful engagement and monitoring tools that have never been
available before," said Sylvie
Stammel, CFO and Owner of ProLingo.
With the app, any organization can engage remotely with subject
matter expert interpreters who broadcast and interact within the
app seamlessly. The app guarantees: high quality video and audio,
quick and easy setup, accredited interpreters to ensure quality,
and 24/7 technical support for events. Its functionality has been
fine-tuned with 16,000 hours of field testing at more than 200
events with 4,500 attendees.
The Conference Interpreting App includes proprietary data tools
and metrics that show how an audience is interacting with content.
It is available for iOS, Android, and web-based platforms. A
toolbox allows clients to view, organize and analyze data in real
time, allowing them to keep a finger on the pulse of meetings and
adjust as needed, even deciding if sections might need to be
repeated or provided in print format as a follow up, for
example.
Both AAA Translation and ProLingo are certified WBE (Women
Business Enterprise) and owned by expatriates from Germany holding dual citizenships. The
companies have partnered on a variety of initiatives; the app is
their largest collaboration to date.
