Problem
Organizing multilingual events can be complex and expensive due to the need for specialized equipment, on-site interpreters, and logistical coordination. Traditional simultaneous interpretation setups require soundproof booths, headsets, and dedicated audio technicians, adding significant costs and logistical challenges.

The platform eliminates the need for traditional interpretation equipment by enabling attendees to listen to translations on their mobile phones. Tontongue's marketplace provides access to interpreters in numerous languages, and its algorithm automatically selects the most suitable interpreter based on event requirements. The platform also offers an AI captioning tool that translates events for display on large screens.
