What happens during a session
Three screens and nothing else: the console where you run the session, the browser booth where your interpreters work, and the phone in each attendee's pocket. No wireless interpretation system to hire, no attendee app to install.
The console
The organiser's screen. You create the session, set the floor language and the target languages, show the listening QR code and see who is on air.
The interpreter booth
A human interpreter joins on one language, hears the speaker live and broadcasts when they decide to. No booth to build: a browser and a desk headset are enough.
Listening
A link to share, or the QR code on a sign at the door. Each person picks their language and hears their interpreter on their own phone, with no app to install.
End of session
Audio and captions go away with it. What remains is one line: date, languages, duration, listeners — the line your invoice is built from.

Human by default, machine only if you ask
Every competitor leads with AI. SIWEL leads with interpreters, and keeps the machine as a lever you pull deliberately.
Fully human
Your interpreters, or ones SIWEL books for you. Nothing automatic is broadcast. This is the default on every account.
Hybrid
The interpreter holds the sensitive language, AI covers the secondary ones nobody was going to fund. Both in the same session, clearly labelled so listeners know which is which.
Fully automatic
For an internal stand-up or an always-on helpdesk, where a human interpreter is neither available nor proportionate.
Almost all of Europe
English, French, Spanish, Brazilian and European Portuguese, German, Italian, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Polish, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Greek, Russian, Ukrainian, and the whole of the Balkans — Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, Slovenian, Macedonian, Albanian. Your interpreters open whichever language they hold; nothing is broadcast on a language nobody covers.
Arabic and six of its dialects
Modern Standard Arabic, Moroccan Darija, Algerian, Tunisian, Egyptian, Levantine and Jordanian. Seven ways of speaking that most platforms file under a single label — and Darija is the best-measured of our dialects, not an afterthought.
From Anatolia to the Pacific
Turkish, Persian (both Farsi and Dari — two distinct audiences, routinely conflated), Armenian, Azerbaijani, Kazakh, Hindi, Urdu, Gujarati, Tamil, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malay, Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean.
Every language carries its score
No language is advertised on the strength of a supplier's brochure. Each was run against a reference corpus, and its score lives in our code. You know what you are buying before the event, not during it — and the console shows each language's measurement as you pick it.
It can often be added
Within days, depending on the language and the interpreters available. Tell us which one: we measure it before answering, and we say no when the result does not hold up.
Nothing to install, nothing to open up
A browser is enough, on locked-down workstations included. No app on the attendee's phone, no port to open, no software for IT to approve.
Usage you can read
Every session leaves one line: date, languages, duration, listeners. That is what your invoice is built from, and you can check it yourself at any time.
What is kept, and what is not
Neither audio nor captions survive the session. What remains is the usage line. If your file requires it, that traceability is the point.
Options, switched on per account
Live captions and transcription
What is said appears as text alongside the voice, language by language. Useful in a noisy room and for anyone who reads better than they hear.
Book an interpreter
A form in the console: date, duration, floor language, target languages, location. We call you back to confirm.
Per-event glossary
Product names, acronyms, the chair's title. Given to the interpreters before the session and used by the machine if AI is on.
