How it works

Context Training

What it is, what it isn't, what we need

The AI engine translates live what the speakers say in the room, as they say it. It does not work from a prepared text and it does not need the script of the talks.

What we do

Before the event we load the event's vocabulary into the engine: speaker names, companies, places, acronyms, technical terms, and for each of them the correct rendering in the target languages.

It is the preparation an interpreter does before stepping into the booth: they don't memorise the speeches, they study the names and the terms they will hear.

What it isn't

It is not a translation made in advance

Nothing is pre-translated or pre-recorded.

The AI does not read out a text

It listens to the speaker and translates in real time.

We don't need to know what the speakers will say

If they improvise or change course, the translation follows them.

It is not a condition for the service

Without materials the engine works with its general vocabulary. Context Training improves names and specialist terms.

Why it matters: three examples

“see you at the Fortezza da Basso”

Without Context Training

the name of the venue risks being translated word for word

With Context Training

it stays “Fortezza da Basso”

“over to you, dottor Leone”

Without Context Training

the surname can become “Doctor Lion”

With Context Training

“Doctor Leone”

“the PNRR funds”

Without Context Training

the acronym can be garbled or missed

With Context Training

correct acronym, or expanded: “the National Recovery and Resilience Plan”

What we need

Even part of it is enough.

  • the programme, with speaker names and talk titles
  • names of companies, brands, products and places that will be mentioned
  • acronyms and abbreviations, with their meaning
  • slides, abstracts or a glossary, if they exist

Up to 24 hours before the event

Any format works: PDF, Word, PowerPoint, even a list in an email.

In short: we need the difficult words, not the speeches.
