Methods for Accurate Transcription and Translation Using Equipment

(Not required for web events/webinars conducted in front of a PC where speakers talk directly into the microphone)

VoicePing is commonly used in web meetings and can perform high-precision transcription and translation even with PC microphones. However, during events, accuracy may deteriorate due to noise and howling effects. Therefore, we recommend using an audio interface.

The most common setup is as follows:

For translation broadcasting, by using a mixer to route audio to the PC, it is possible to perform high-precision transcription and translation by eliminating noise at the input stage. Additionally, you can insert an audio interface between the mixer and microphone to make various additional settings. You may also increase the number of microphones and PCs according to the number of speakers and languages. It is also possible to operate with separate mixers.

Below is a list of equipment that has been actually used in past events and confirmed to work: *Please note that we do not provide this equipment. *While VoicePing can perform noise canceling within the software, routing audio directly from microphones through mixers enables more accurate transcription.

Preparation

  1. On the webinar host side, install VoicePing, move to Virtual Office mode, and create a meeting room.
  2. After creating the meeting room, enable the Listener Web App from the meeting room settings. When you enable the Listener Web App, you can obtain a QR code/URL that webinar participants can join. Also, please confirm that the "Enable Listener Microphone" option is turned off.

Important Notes:

  1. Please confirm that VoicePing's Virtual Office mode is enabled
  2. If using from a web browser instead of the desktop app, please check whether you have the status to use Virtual Office mode from the web
  3. The QR code/URL obtained here is fixed, so it can be used for advance notifications
  4. Regarding the "Enable Listener Microphone" option, this can be changed during the event. When turned on to accept questions, it becomes possible to translate questioners' questions as well.
