Can they hear it?
Interpretation audio means a spoken stream a listener can follow live. Pikka Speech generates AI interpretation in 142 listener languages and dialects, and human interpreters can cover any target language the event books.
The most versatile coverage in the industry
The widest language coverage in live interpretation.
Pikka Speech generates interpretation audio in 142 listener languages and dialects and transcribes live captions in all 99 speaker languages — with three coverage modes for every language: human only, AI only, or human + AI. On hybrid channels, AI covers the human automatically. No other simultaneous interpretation platform offers that combination.

Coverage, defined
What language coverage really means
Three questions decide whether an event platform actually covers your audience.
Can they read it?
Live captions start with transcription — turning speech into text. The transcription fleet recognizes all 99 speaker languages and routes each one to the strongest available engine automatically.
Who covers it?
Coverage is a choice, not a default. Every target language runs human only, AI only, or human + AI — and on hybrid channels, AI covers the human automatically. Handoff stays on the same channel as one continuous stream; listeners may hear a different voice.
Three modes
Three ways to cover every language
Choose AI, human, or both for each language. On hybrid channels, AI covers pauses automatically.
Human only
A dedicated channel for your own interpreter. Platform access costs $49 per target language; the interpreter's fee is separate.
AI only
Fully synthesized interpretation with captions: $49 base plus $499 AI interpretation per target language.
Human + AI
Both seated on one channel. The interpreter takes over with a single press, and hands back whenever they choose.

Questions
Language coverage, answered
How many languages can Pikka Speech interpret into?
AI interpretation audio covers 142 listener languages and dialects today, each with a female and a male voice, spanning East and Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Every target language can also be covered by a human interpreter instead of, or alongside, AI.
How many languages can be transcribed into live captions?
Live captions cover all 99 speaker languages, routed automatically across the strongest available engines per language. Captions then translate into all 142 listener languages and dialects.
Is interpretation audio coverage the same as caption coverage?
Not exactly — the two numbers count different sides of the room. Speakers can talk in any of the 99 speaker languages, and each one is transcribed into live captions. Listeners choose from 142 listener languages and dialects, including regional variants of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, and every one gets both interpretation audio and translated captions.
Can each language use a different coverage mode?
Yes. Coverage is set per target language: human only, AI only, or human + AI. One room can run Japanese with an interpreter, Bahasa Melayu as human + AI, and Spanish, Korean, and Arabic fully on AI — simultaneously.
Does AI cover human interpreters automatically?
Yes. On a human + AI channel, AI interprets whenever the human interpreter pauses, steps away, or disconnects, and hands back the instant they resume. The audience hears one continuous stream.
Which languages are available in the free test room?
All of them. The free 15-minute rehearsal room supports the same full catalog as a paid event, so you can check audio, captions, and handoffs in your exact languages before the real event.
