Association, Nonprofit, and NGO Translation Services

Make Your Association and Nonprofit Meetings
More Inclusive, Accessible, & Engaging

Most organizations have employees, members, and partners located around the world who often speak a wide range of first languages - leading to communication barriers and lower productivity. Providing interpreters can help, but the cost and logistical complexity make this difficult to implement widely.

Our groundbreaking solution increases inclusivity and engagement by providing an affordable, on-demand, easy to use solution for organizations of all sizes and budgets.Offer live translation and captions for all your internal and external meetings and events.

Examples include town halls; board meetings; staff meetings; employee training; partner onboarding; sales calls; member conferences; and much more.

Live Translation & Captions For All Meetings and Events

Association Translation & Interpretation Options

There are three primary options for addressing the language barrier at association and nonprofit meetings.

‍‍1. Do Nothing

The most common solution is to do nothing. While this is the cheapest and least time consuming option in the short term, there are significant long term costs when members are unable to understand  meetings and do not attend or fully engage.

‍2. Use Human Translators

Human translators have been used for years and are a common option for association meetings and events around the world. Human interpretation is a good option for large, complex events which are planned months in advance and supported by large budgets and teams to coordinate all of the logistics. But the time and cost of offering human interpretation often makes this option not viable for most organizations.

‍3. Use Live AI Translation and Captioning

A fast-growing option is AI translation. These tech solutions are powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and hosted in a secure cloud infrastructure, removing the need for human interpreters and special equipment. AI translation is being implemented across a wide range of  meetings and events.

How Wordly AI Translation & Captioning Works

Step 1
The audio mixer in the meeting room is connected to a tablet or laptop which is used to log into the Wordly AI translation & captioning system. This helps ensure the AI system receives high quality sound input.

Step 2
The presenter(s) speak in their preferred languages during the meeting. The Wordly AI-powered translation system can manage participants speaking in multiple languages.

‍Step 3
‍‍Wordly uses AI technology to transcribe and translate the spoken content into the preferred languages selected by each participant. Wordly can process and translate audio real time into dozens of languages. The translation software is capable of understanding different dialects and accents, so you can feel confident that the translation will be accurate and understood by all attendees.

‍Step 4
Attendees can read captions or listen with their ear buds in their preferred language, on their own computer or mobile device. Attendees access the translation and captions by scanning a QR code with their phone or visiting a URL from their computer. Attendees can be either in person or attend virtually via Zoom, Teams, or another meeting platform. The captions can also be displayed in multiple languages on monitors positioned around the room so everyone can see them.
