InterpretBank

Your Digital Helper for real-time interpreting

InterpretBank ASR is a real-time speech recognition assistant for interpreters. It supports both simultaneous and dialogic interpreting with live transcription, terminology support, and on-screen reading tools designed for professional workflows.

InterpretBank ASR is available in two solutions: Cloud and Offline. Cloud provides the broadest language coverage and highest quality through larger server-side models. Offline provides maximum data privacy because audio stays on the interpreter's computer.

Cloud vs Offline at a glance

Cloud: broader language coverage, highest quality, average 4% WER, server-side processing.

Offline: selected language coverage, average 8% WER, no audio leaves device, indefinite use.
