In-Person Mode enables two or more people to communicate face-to-face using a shared device that transcribes and translates speech in real time. This is ideal for front-desk interactions, outreach booths, and multilingual customer service environments.

🔧 What You Need

  • A supported device (tablet, smartphone, or kiosk) with a stable internet connection
  • A browser app running the VideoTranslatorAI interface
  • A user account with access to Speech Translation features
  • Microphone and speaker access enabled

🪄 How It Works

Each participant speaks into the shared device. The app detects who is speaking, transcribes their speech in the source language, then translates it to the target language(s). The output is displayed as on-screen text and, if enabled, spoken aloud using a neural voice.

⚙️ Setup Steps

1. Log in to the app and click Create Meeting

Select the Create Meeting button in the top-right corner of the screen. Click ‘Create Meeting’

2. Choose Meeting Mode

Select In Person, then choose your preferred mode:

  • Manual Mode: You’ll manually toggle the translation button for better accuracy.
  • Continuous Mode: Translates automatically without toggling.

Select meeting mode

If using Continuous Mode, choose one of the sub-options:

  • Default Mode: Manually indicate speakers by clicking a switch button.
  • Auto Mode: Speech is continuously detected and auto-identified by language, so no toggling is needed.

🧩 Customisation Options

  • Upload a glossary to improve translations for domain-specific terms.
  • Choose a voice style (e.g. friendly, formal, male/female).
  • Enable transcript logging for session review.

🛠 Troubleshooting

  • Use headphones or external mics in noisy environments.
  • Make sure browser permissions for mic/speaker are enabled.
  • If speech isn’t detected, check input levels or try manual mic mode.
