Cappisco is the listening app for live simultaneous interpretation at your online, on-site and hybrid meetings and conferences. Human interpreters translate what is said as it is said, and you hear them in your language on your own iPhone or iPad, alongside any meeting or webconferencing platform. TWO STEPS 1. Enter the session details. 2. Select your language. That is all. No account, no sign-up, no settings. You hear the interpreter at once. REAL INTERPRETERS, NOT MACHINES The interpretation is the work of professional conference interpreters. They work on Cappisco, a specialised interpreting platform built for and by interpreters, where they see, hear and speak to each other and work as a perfectly attuned team. Cappisco works only with professional language service providers and experienced conference interpreters, so the interpretation you hear is of the highest quality. PODCAST SOUND QUALITY Crystal-clear audio, with every word intact, from the first to the last. LISTEN YOUR WAY โ€ข On the speaker, held to your ear, or with a headset. โ€ข In your hand, or in your pocket with the phone locked: the Now Playing card on the lock screen shows what you hear. โ€ข Switch language at any time. Mute without leaving. Reconnects by itself after a dropped connection. โ€ข Accessible: works with VoiceOver, the largest text sizes, reduced motion and high contrast. FOR ORGANISERS Turn every participant's phone or tablet into their own listening device, with no equipment to hand out. Your interpreters work from the Cappisco platform, and your participants listen with this app, in a browser, or inside Microsoft Teams. Sessions, languages and passwords are set up in the Cappisco admin. Learn more at cappisco.com. PRIVACY The app collects no personal data. It never uses the camera or the microphone. The app remembers only the session name, until the session ends. Only customers of Cappisco and its partners can use this app: you need the session details from an organiser who uses Cappisco.
