How to setup your computer
You need to send the audio (what you hear in your headphones while interpreting) to the App. Depending on your working environment, you have two options:
- if you are working on-site, you need to connect the audio line-out of the booth console to the audio-in jack of your computer (if your computer does not have a line-in -most laptops have not- you need an external USB sound card like this. Watch this video for more information.
- if you are working with an audio source from your computer, things are very complicated, and we suggest you to use one device for ASR and one for the videoconferencing platform. You need to "redirect" the audio channel of your computer to the App. You can achieve this in Wondows on macOS following thr next description.
RSI: if you are doing Remote simultaneous interpretation we advice you to use a separate computer for the videoconferencing platform and for the ASR function. Setting the audio channels of a single computer to serve both application is challanging and we advise against it.
Open the Settings of Windows
Select the Sound tab. In Input device, select Stereo Mix. Now, InterpetBank ASR will be able to listen to the audio that is played or connected to your computer. Should you miss the Stereo Mix option, refer to this guide to enable it.
