Everyone understands each other

Hallingo builds the app for your event. Guests get the programme, the speakers and live translation on their own phones.

A day with Hallingo

What a conference day looks like for your guests, from the QR code at the entrance to dinner in the evening.

09.00

Guests arrive

At the entrance, guests scan the QR code and answer whether you may use photos of them. The programme is on their phone before the coffee is poured.

10.00

Opening keynote

Every guest can see who is on stage, with a photo and the topic of the talk.

11.30

Break

We type “We start again at 11.50” once, and every guest gets the message in their own language.

13.30

The panel

The panel speaks Danish. A few seconds later, each guest hears it in their own language.

15.00

Behind the sound desk

We run the app from the sound desk. When the next speaker comes on, it switches to their language.

19.30

Dinner

Guests read the menu in their own language. After the event, they can listen to the talks again as an audiobook, with the text on screen.

Try it

Hear an English speech and watch it arrive in your language, with the same delay as in the room.

The speaker saysPress play to hear the speech

  1. +3.5 sGuten Morgen, meine Damen und Herren, und herzlich willkommen.
  2. +2.8 sHeute sprechen wir darüber, wie Teams über Grenzen hinweg zusammenarbeiten können.
  3. +3.0 sDas Wichtigste ist, dass sich alle gegenseitig verstehen.
  4. +2.6 sNach der Mittagspause geht es mit der Podiumsdiskussion im Hauptsaal weiter.

We measured these times ourselves on 7 November 2026. Each number is the time from when the speaker finished a sentence until the translation was on the phone. Translating takes less than a second. Most of the wait is speech recognition listening for the end of the sentence. This example has five languages. At your event, the app offers the languages your guests need.

Photo consent first
Survey afterwards

The same QR code also asks guests for permission to use photos and video when they arrive, and sends them your survey when the event is over.

Permissions for photos and video

The first time guests scan the code, they enter their name, email and company. Then they decide for themselves whether you may use photos and video they appear in. You get all the answers in one list.

  • Your own wording, translated into each guest's language
  • The box starts empty, so every yes is an active choice
  • Each answer is saved with the time and the exact text the guest agreed to
  • A list for your photographer and marketing team, with export to Excel

Written in Swedish, translated into English

You are the data controller for the permissions and answers, and we are the data processor. We keep them for as long as you want and delete them when you ask. We write the photo consent text with you, so it matches how you will use the pictures.

How we work

You tell us about the day, and we take care of the rest in four steps.

People talking in a foyer

Call

We go through the programme, speakers, languages and number of guests. You get a plan and a fixed price.

Earbuds and a phone on a chair

Design

We build the app in your colours, fonts and images, and send you a link to try well before the day.

The sound desk in the room

Rehearsal

We test with sample talks in the speakers' languages, your own terminology and hundreds of simulated guests.

On the day

We sit at the sound desk and look after languages, speakers and messages until the last talk.

What we have measured

3 sfrom the end of a spoken sentence to the translation on the phone

300guests connected at once in our load test, and every one of them received every sentence

90+languages the speaker can use. 32 of them can be read aloud; the rest are shown as text

Questions

Do guests need to download an app?
No. They scan the QR code at the door and choose a language. It works in Safari and Chrome on any recent phone.
What about headphones?
Guests use their own. If they have none with them, they can turn the sound off and follow the talk as text.
Can the venue Wi-Fi handle it?
Audio uses about 30 MB per hour per phone. 300 guests with sound use at most around 15 Mbit/s in total, and mobile data works too.
How good is the translation?
Fast and accurate with clear speech, and we load your terminology in advance. It does not replace an interpreter in negotiations where every word must be weighed.
Which languages do you support?
The speaker can use any of more than 90 languages, and each guest picks their own. 32 of them can be read aloud, and the rest are shown as text. You decide which languages the app offers on the day.
Can the talks be heard afterwards?
Yes, if you want. After the day, every talk can be heard as an audiobook in the guest's own language, with the text following along. Guests find it in the same app. We ask the speakers for permission in advance.
What if a guest says no to photos?
Their row on the list is clearly marked, so your photographer and marketing team know not to use pictures of them. The guest can use the app like everyone else.
Can we write our own survey questions?
Yes. You write the questions; we set them up, translate them into your guests' languages and collect the answers for you in your own language. Only guests who said yes to the survey receive it.
Where does the app live?
At yourname.hallingo.com. It can be up the same day, and your IT department does not have to do anything. If you would rather use your own address, such as speak.yourcompany.com, your IT department adds one DNS record.
What does it cost?
It depends on the length of the day, the number of languages and how much design is needed. You get a fixed price after our first call.
Do you store what is said?
Audio from the room is never stored. The text is removed from the server when the day is over, unless you have chosen the audiobook. In that case we keep the text for the audiobook only, for as long as you want.

When is your day?
