Broadcast Translation
The technology enabling a single translation session to be shared with an unlimited number of viewers in real time via a web link or QR code.
Understanding Broadcast Translation
Broadcast translation extends real-time translation from a single user to an unlimited audience. Instead of each listener needing their own translation device or interpreter, broadcast translation shares a live translation stream via a simple web link or QR code. Audience members access the translated text (and optionally audio) on their own smartphones, tablets, or laptops. This model is particularly powerful for churches, conferences, and live events where hundreds or thousands of people may need translation simultaneously.
How Selah Translate Uses Broadcast Translation
Selah Translate's broadcast feature creates a shareable link and QR code for any translation session. Viewers access the live translation in their browser — no app download required. The broadcast page shows real-time translated text and optionally plays text-to-speech audio. Users can customize the broadcast page with their own branding. There's no limit on the number of concurrent viewers.
