Your questions
Asked by your role.
Choose your role. Each one has the questions people in it ask first, answered.
Monitor3 questions
- Can I have captions without the voice?
Yes. Choose no voice, and Tolkr™ shows captions only.
- Is it live?
Yes. Captions and a natural voice follow the speaker as they talk.
- Can I see which line to check?
Yes. A line Tolkr™ is unsure of is marked in the captions, so you know which line to check.
Editor3 questions
- Can I check a quote?
Yes. Every line is saved with its original, and any line can be played again before a quote goes out.
- 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
- How many channels per workstation?
One session and one language pair per workstation. Each channel you follow has its own workstation.
- Does it need the internet to translate?
No. Recognition, translation and the voice run on your own systems.
- 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.
