Video meetings with live translation into African languages
Most meeting tools translate between a handful of European and Asian languages. Aivorys includes 24 African languages in its translation catalogue, so a team in Cotonou, Nairobi and Paris can follow the same call in the language each person is most at ease with.
The 24 African languages in the catalogue
Afrikaans, Amharic, Bambara, Chichewa, Ewe, Hausa, Igbo, Kinyarwanda, Krio, Lingala, Luganda, Malagasy, Oromo, Sepedi, Sesotho, Shona, Somali, Swahili, Tigrinya, Tsonga, Twi, Xhosa, Yoruba and Zulu. French, English, Arabic and Portuguese, which many African teams already work in, are available too.
How it works in a call
Each participant chooses the language they want to read, and the subtitles are translated live. The number of different subtitle languages in one meeting follows the organiser's plan (1 on Free, 5 on Solo, 40 on Team and Business, up to 130 on Enterprise) and applies to every guest, including guests on a free account.
What to expect, honestly
Translation quality is not the same in every language: the less widely written languages are usually less reliable than French or English, and Aivorys publishes no accuracy figure. Speech recognition also depends on the language being spoken. Try a short meeting with your own team first, and use the written summary to confirm decisions.

No. The organiser's plan decides how many subtitle languages the meeting can use, and guests on a free account get them too.
How accurate is the translation?
It varies by language and no accuracy figure is claimed. Test a short meeting before relying on it, and check decisions in the written summary.
