How it works
One mic in. Every language out.
No booths, no receivers, no installs. Three steps stand between your speaker and a room that understands them.
Room code
The first Hybrid SIS
Human interpreters and AI. One stage, seamless handoffs.
Pikka Speech is the industry's first hybrid simultaneous interpretation system: every target language channel can be AI, human, or both — and the two interchange on the same channel as one continuous stream. Listeners may hear a different voice.
Breakout rooms
Interpretation keeps going in every breakout room.
Split your event into breakout rooms, and each one runs its own live interpretation and captions.
Unlike Zoom and Microsoft Teams' built-in language interpretation, Pikka Speech keeps interpretation available in breakout rooms. Their support pages describe this limitation (checked September 2026).
One tap to switch
Listeners, speakers and hosts move between rooms with one tap, using the link or QR code they already have.
Table discussions with one phone
One phone per table is the microphone, passed from speaker to speaker. Everyone else listens on their own phone, in their own language.

Built different
Details competitors don't have.
The hybrid system is the headline. These are the engineering details that make Pikka Speech original.
Per-language control
Choose AI, human, or AI + human for each target language independently — never one mode for the whole event.
Meeting bot
Pikka joins Zoom, Teams, or Meet as a named participant and streams the floor into your Pikka room. Remote attendees listen in a browser.
Glossary locks
Pin your industry's exact terminology and the AI honors mandatory terms for the whole event.
Official transcripts
Finalize and certify event transcripts, with inline word-level editing before you publish.
Replay on your terms
Recording is off by default; when enabled, retention is host-chosen from 1 to 180 days.
Transparent overlay
Float captions over any stream or shared screen with a frameless Mac/Windows overlay app, or a browser overlay with no install.
Live polls & audience Q&A
Run polls and a question board with upvotes. Every listener votes and asks in their own language, and the speaker's spoken answer reaches them translated.
Clear data controls
You decide what the event keeps.
Recording is off by default. When an organizer enables replay or creates an official transcript, the page explains what is retained and for how long.
Recording is opt-in
A host must explicitly enable recording for a room. When enabled, replay media is stored so authorized users can play or download it.
Replay retention is 1–180 days
The organizer selects a retention period from 1 to 180 days; the default is 30 days. Expired replay media is removed by the retention process.
Official transcripts are separate
Live final captions are stored while the room is active and removed when the room closes. A certified or finalized official transcript is a separate retained record created by the organizer.
Nothing is kept to train on
The translated voice is generated and discarded — the provider stores neither the text nor the audio. Audio sent for recognition is never used to train anyone's models.
Room access is host-controlled and traffic is encrypted in transit. Review the privacy policy before using recording or official-transcript features.

About / founderCommon questions
Know before you host.
What is included in the free test?
Each eligible standard account can create one lifetime 15-minute test room. It is intended for a rehearsal before purchasing an event pass.
Do attendees need an app or account?
No. Attendees open the event link or enter the room code in a browser, then choose their language. Hosts can control room access.
How is an event priced?
Pricing is per event and target language: $49 for a human-interpreter channel, $448 for translated text, or $548 for translated audio plus text. 25 listeners are included; extra listener and video charges are shown above.
Are events recorded automatically?
No. Recording is off by default and must be enabled by the host. Enabled replay media follows a selected 1–180 day retention period, while certified official transcripts are separate retained records.
Can I use my own human interpreters?
Yes. A target-language channel can be human-only, AI-assisted, or AI-delivered. The $49 human-channel price covers platform access, not the interpreter's professional fee.
Can human interpreters and AI work together in the same event?
Yes. Pikka Speech is a hybrid SIS: each target language channel can be human, AI, or AI + human, and a human interpreter can take over from AI at any moment. It is the first platform in the industry to make human and AI interchange seamless.
Does Pikka Speech work for offline and online events?
Yes. One platform serves onsite venues, fully online events, and hybrid events that combine both. Onsite audio comes from the PA or mixer; online audio comes from a meeting bot that joins Zoom, Teams, or Meet.
Can captions be shown on an LED screen or projector?
Yes. A native display mode renders full-screen, long-distance captions for LED walls and projectors in the screen's browser, with no extra software. A transparent overlay is available as a Mac/Windows desktop app, or as a browser overlay.
