Your questions
Asked by your role.
Choose your role. Each one has the questions people in it ask first, answered.
Lecturer3 questions
- Can students read the original too?
Yes. Captions show the original and the translation together.
- Can I dub a course video?
Yes, with subtitles in both languages.
- Can a student play a line again?
Yes. Any line can be played again, with the original and the translation together.
Technician3 questions
- Do I need headphones?
With a microphone, yes, so the voice does not reach the microphone. With the whole PC or one app, speakers are fine.
- Can the captions go on the room's screen?
Yes. Both lines can go on the room's screen, from 0.8 to 1.6 times their size.
- How many languages at once?
One target language per session.
Head of IT3 questions
- Does it need the internet to translate?
No. Recognition, translation and the voice run on your own systems.
- What does it run on?
Windows 11. A graphics card makes it faster, and it also runs on the processor. Tolkr™ sets itself up for each workstation.
- What leaves our systems?
Nothing during use. We watched the connections Tolkr™ opened during a live session, a dub and a voice test, and none left the PC. The only text that can leave is meeting captions for everyone, when you turn them on.
