Notice Information

Notice Title

Virtual Simultaneous Translation Meeting Space

Notice Description

With partners located in 4 different countries, and speaking 4 different languages, we require regular face to face communication. With the travel restrictions placed on the UK as a result of Covid-19 we are seeking an external partner to offer a web based meeting space with simultaneous translation. It would be essential for meeting participants to choose the language they wish to hear the meeting in, and have a chat space for sending messages between each other, with preferably a translation option. A virtual space for 2 translators to work together to communicate between themselves away from meeting attendants would be beneficial.
