Your questions
Asked by your role.
Choose your role. Each one has the questions people in it ask first, answered.
Viewer3 questions
- Is it live?
Yes. Captions and a natural voice follow the speaker as they talk.
- Can I have captions without the voice?
Yes. Choose no voice, and Tolkr™ shows captions only.
- Can I turn the channel down?
Yes. Lower the original in your ears, down to zero, and Tolkr™ still hears it and goes on translating.
Editor3 questions
- Can I read back the whole day?
Yes. Every finished session is saved with every line in both languages. Open it on the Sessions page to read it or play it.
- Is the original sound kept?
Yes. What was heard is saved as a WAV file with the session.
- Which languages?
Captions in 130 languages, and a natural voice in 36, into
English and out of it. Look up your pair in Languages.
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.
