For your guests

Three steps, on the phone already in their pocket.

Nothing to download and nothing to collect at the door. Guests join from their seat in seconds, and leave with their phone, not your equipment.

  1. A guest scans the QR code on a Sim Trans table card with their phone camera.

    Step 1: Scan

    A QR code on the table card, the badge or the screen. One scan opens the page. No app, no account, no sign-up.

  2. A guest taps their language in a list on the event page on their phone.

    Step 2: Choose

    Every available language, listed in its own script. One tap and they are connected.

  3. A guest listens through his own wireless earbuds while holding his phone.

    Step 3: Listen

    Live interpretation through their own earbuds, with captions on screen to read along.

How it reaches every phone

One feed from your sound desk. Up to twelve languages in the room.

Your AV crew sends us the same clean feed they would send to a recorder. Everything after that point is ours to run and watch.

  1. Stage microphones Speakers use the microphones they already have. Nothing changes on stage.
  2. Venue sound desk Your AV crew sends us one clean feed from the desk, as they would for a recording.
  3. SIM.AI position A laptop and an audio interface on one small table at the side of the room.
  4. Live interpretation Speech recognition, translation and voices, using your glossary. Watched live by our team.
  5. Guests’ phones Up to 12 language channels, as audio and captions, a few seconds behind the speaker.

Coverage

A Gulf audience is rarely one language.

Arabic and English are the starting point for most events here. Add Urdu, Hindi, Filipino, Malayalam, French or Mandarin and the room opens up, with no extra equipment and no extra logistics on the day.

On site

A footprint you barely notice.

Set up in minutes
One discreet position at the side of the room. No rigging, no room changes, no impact on your run sheet.
Monitored live

Run by us
You never touch the system. Your AV crew carries on exactly as they always do.

The difference

Nothing to build. Nothing to hand out. Nothing to rebuild.

Booths, consoles and a table of receivers have served events well for decades, and Sim Trans still provides them. For many sessions, a laptop, an audio interface and your guests’ own phones now do the same job with far less on the floor.

AI where it fits. Interpreters where it matters.

We are a translation company first.

Sim Trans has provided interpreters, certified translation and interpretation equipment to events across the UAE for more than 20 years. SIM.AI is how we bring live interpretation to rooms that never had it, and to the languages a booth could never cover.

  • I’ve recently worked with Sim-Trans for a last minute project and they have delivered excellent services in no time. Their staff are very professional, and were helpful in all times. To both Ahmeds at Sim-Trans, thank you very much. And a big thank you to Ahmed Salama for last minute crisis management.

Questions organisers ask

Do guests need to download an app?

No. Guests scan a QR code with their phone camera, which opens the event page in their browser. There is no app, no account and no sign-up. They choose their language and listen through their own earbuds, or read the captions.

How many languages can run at the same event?

SIM.AI offers 81 languages, and up to 12 of them can run at the same time from one audio feed. If you need another language on the day, adding it is a setting, not a new booth.

How far behind the speaker is the interpretation?

Guests hear the interpretation a few seconds behind the speaker. Captions appear at the same pace, so people can read along or check a name.

Is AI interpretation right for every session?

No, and we will tell you when it is not. For legally binding proceedings, sensitive negotiations or VIP protocol, we recommend certified human interpreters from Sim Trans, or a mix of human and AI channels. We are a translation company first.

What do you need from the venue?

One clean audio feed from the venue sound desk, a small table at the side of the room with power, and a reliable internet connection. Our technician works alongside your AV crew, who carry on as normal.
