A fiftieth anniversary, a graduation, the opening of a festival, the safety briefing before a race. There is one microphone, a crowd that speaks four languages, and no second attempt. Everybody follows on the phone already in their hand, in the language they think in, and nothing is hired or handed out.
Three generations, two or three countries, one long table. The speeches reach the people they are about, including the ones who moved away decades ago and the ones who married in.
The citation is read out once, in one language, to a hall full of proud families. Every one of them hears what was said about their own child, and the names come through as names.
Stage announcements, welcomes, programme changes and the safety notice nobody can afford to miss. Visitors follow on their own phones without anyone staffing a translation desk.
Opening ceremonies, the rules briefing, prize-giving, the announcements between heats. Visiting competitors and neighbours who speak another language get the same information at the same time.
A council consultation, a residents’ briefing, a public safety session. The people the meeting is about follow it in the language spoken at their own kitchen table, and can ask their question in it.
A product launch, a shop opening, a jubilee, a farewell. One evening, one stage, and every guest included whether they speak the language of the host or not.
Set up in an afternoon the week before. On the day, one tap.
The people who will be named from the stage, the venue, the sponsors, the town. Paste the running order the day before. Then the words that matter are known before anyone speaks.
Whoever runs the sound feeds the microphone into a laptop and taps once. The code goes on the programme, the screen, the tickets or a sign at the gate.
They scan the code, pick a language, and read or listen with one earbud. Nobody is handed a receiver and nobody has to ask. If the venue has a screen, the words can go on that too.
No receivers to count back in, no deposits to return, no kit to pack. Close the room and go home.
The couple celebrating forty years, the graduates, the sponsors, the village, the club. Written down once, they come through intact in every language instead of being translated into something else.

Paste the running order and the speeches you have the day before. The session then knows where the day is going from the first sentence.
Context Enhancer →
A local saying, a reference to a place, a joke everybody who grew up here gets. A one line note in the listener’s language, quietly, beside the words.
Smart Hints →
A projector, the screen beside the stage, a monitor in the marquee. Up to four languages on one screen, sized to be read from the back.

A main stage and a second tent, a hall and a field. Open a room for each with its own code, running at the same time.
Someone in another country uses the same code as the crowd and follows live. The stream works over the internet as well as it does on the field.
Plenty of sites carry glowing quotes from events that never happened. When real hosts tell us how their day went, and are happy for us to say so, their words go on the stories page and nowhere else.
What we can say plainly: this replaces a hire, not a person. A crowd following a stage at half speed is exactly what it is for. A negotiation between six people is not.
A one-off event runs on credits. Buy what the day will use, the room draws on them while it runs, and whatever is left stays on your account for the next one. Two languages or five makes no difference: you pay for the room running, not for how many languages are in it, and a second stage is a second room on the same account.
Run the rehearsal on the same room, so the day itself holds no surprises. If you run events all year, a membership includes credits every month at a lower rate. If the day is hosted by a church that uses MulingStream, one church pass covers it.
The phone already in their pocket. They scan a code or type seven digits, pick a language, and read or listen. No app, no account, nothing to pay, and they can change language halfway through.
As many as the crowd needs, from over 200 languages and regional varieties. A third or fourth language never costs more than the first. Which languages can be spoken from the stage, read as captions or heard as a voice differs, and the languages page lists every one.
The laptop at the sound desk needs a steady internet connection; the people listening use their own mobile data. A field with good coverage is fine. A valley with none is not, so ask us before the day rather than finding out at the gate.
Yes. Each gets its own room, its own code and its own language list, and both draw on the same account. Tell us how many run at once and we make sure your account carries them.
Nobody, once it is running. Whoever handles the sound opens the room before the doors open and closes it at the end. If nobody handles sound, tell us beforehand and we will walk somebody through it.
Yes. Open the room at the rehearsal or the sound check and see it work before it matters. A rehearsal uses a few minutes of credits, nothing more.
What kind of day, the languages, roughly how many people, and where. We will answer plainly about the venue, and you can open a room yourself the same day.
