Audio
Audio mix
⌃
Both synchronized recordings can play at the same time.
This service is recorded and available for attendee replay.
Who runs it
If it takes a specialist, it won't happen every week.
One person starts the session, confirms the audio, and shares the code — from a single guided view that shows exactly what listeners are getting. No AV degree, no new hardware, and nothing to hand out and collect afterwards.
01
Bring one source
A microphone, a soundboard feed, or a livestream link becomes the source for the room.
02
Pick languages
Each language is translated once and shared with everyone who selects it — cost follows languages, not crowd.
03
People listen
Attendees scan a code and listen on their phones, by voice or captions. Recordings and notes can live on afterward.
Compared to what you do today
Every room already copes somehow. Each way of coping costs something.
Almost nobody starts from nothing. There is a member who translates, an interpreter on the invoice, or a quiet decision to let people follow what they can. Here is what each one actually costs you.
| What happens | Nothing in place | A member translates | Hired interpreters | Koine |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Languages at once | One — whichever is being spoken | One, and only on the days they are there | One for each interpreter you hire | 50+ at once, off the same feed |
| What it costs | Nothing in money — the cost is the people who quietly stop coming | Free, and it costs that member their own Sunday, every week | $1,000+ per language per day, plus receiver rental | $10 per language, per hour — whether ten people listen in that language or ten thousand |
| What it does to the room | Nothing — and half the room follows about half of it | Whispering disturbs the rows around them; from the stage, every sentence is said twice and the service runs long | From the stage, the same doubling; from a booth, nothing at all | Nothing — it arrives in their own earbuds, in step with the speaker |
| Hardware to manage | None | None | Receivers to rent, hand out, collect, charge and sanitize | None — the phone already in their pocket |
| Nuance, humour and idiom | — | Warm and familiar, but uneven | The best in the room. This is the thing you are paying for. | Close, and getting closer — but a great interpreter is still better |
| Members who are hard of hearing | An induction loop, if one was ever installed — and only for hearing aids with a telecoil | — | — | Live captions and the room's own audio, to any phone, on the lane you already pay for |
| What is left afterwards | Nothing | Nothing | Nothing | The recording, a transcript in every language it ran, and a page people can follow |
Interpreter costs vary widely by country, language, and whether the work is done from a booth or from the stage; the figure above is a common day rate for a simultaneous team. If you have a real quote in front of you, send us what it says — including the cases where keeping your interpreter is the right call.
Even with no translation
The room's own sound, on every phone
- Stream the original audio live — hearing assistance without a hearing loop or receivers
- The nursery, the lobby, and the overflow room stay on the session with a phone and earbuds
- Homebound members hear the service itself, not just a translation of it
For organizers
One session becomes a broadcast, a library, and a reason to return.
Koine gives the room one live experience, then gives your organization a recording, a permanent page, and a growing audience to bring back next time.
01
Run it live
Send voice, captions, and the room’s own audio to every phone from one source.
02
Reach beyond the room
The overflow, remote guests, and people in another country join the same session.
03
Build your library
Publish the recording and transcript to a permanent page for anyone who missed it.
04
Bring people back
Followers can return to past sessions and know when your organization goes live again.
Where it works
One tool for wherever language gets in the way.
Education
Lectures, assemblies, and parent evenings that newcomer families can follow in real time.

Conferences & events
Keynotes, breakout tracks, and company all-hands for audiences that work across languages.

The listener app
Listen live. Keep what mattered. Come back next time.
The browser gets people listening immediately. The optional app lets them take notes and photos as it happens, rewind a sentence they missed, return to the session after the room clears — and follow you, so they know when you start again.
- Notes and photos in context — write a thought or snap the slide, kept at the right moment
- Rewind and replay — slide back during a live session, or revisit it entirely afterwards
- Follow the organizers they return to — a notification when you go live, in their language
- Ask about what was said — recaps and answers grounded in the session, with Koine Intelligence
- Personal tools when needed — private and two-way translation live inside the same app

Side by side
The same hour. A very different Tuesday.
Read off each company's own pages in August 2026. A dash means we could not find it advertised — not that it cannot be done. Where we come off worse — languages, voice cloning, price, human interpreters — those rows are here too.

Prices in USD, taken from each company's public pricing in August 2026 and subject to change. A language-hour is one language translated for one hour — see how ours are counted. Where a range is shown, the low end is the best monthly plan rate and the high end is the rate without a plan. Sunflower AI sells session hours instead of pricing by language; Wordly, Interprefy and KUDO publish no prices at all and quote on request. Think we have a row wrong? Tell us and we will correct it.

50+ languages with a natural spoken voice and captions — a few more as live captions today.
