Interprefy

You get several languages at an in-person, hybrid or online event without building interpreter booths or handing out receivers. Interprefy, a Zürich company, delivers professional remote simultaneous interpreters, AI speech translation and live captions through one cloud platform for meetings, conferences and broadcasts, and it suits organisers and corporate communications teams with multilingual audiences.

What it gives your event

If you run in-person events, online meetings and webinars, hybrid events or live broadcasts, this gives you one language service across all four formats, with its feed plugging into the venue AV for in-person sessions. The company’s own examples include global keynotes translated into many languages without a booth per language pair, product launches aimed at international press, guided tours and training sessions run from a phone, and recurring internal meetings across offices. You can have Interprefy source and vet interpreters for you, or bring your own interpreters to work in its virtual booths.

Features that save you hardware and set-up

• Remote simultaneous interpretation. Interpreters work from anywhere in virtual booths, and if you keep physical booths, on-site interpreter hard consoles can also be connected to the platform.
• AI speech translation. Speech recognition, machine translation and synthesised voice in one chain; the company says it covers 80+ languages for AI output, while its home page quotes 150 languages overall.
• Live captions and subtitles. Same-language captions or translated subtitles, which Interprefy says appear with under 0.2 seconds of display delay and are aligned with ADA, EAA and WCAG requirements.
• Delivery products. Interprefy Now (phone-only sessions such as tours), Interprefy Connect (structured meetings) and Interprefy Connect Pro (larger events with extra host and event-management controls).
• Attendee options. Your listeners can switch language at will, scroll back through captions and listen in one language while reading in another; automatic language identification is offered for 80+ languages.
• Recordings and media. Interpreted audio and multilingual transcripts can be captured, and a media team will edit recordings, burn in captions or produce videos with embedded audio channels.
• Professional services. A project manager from kick-off, a remote technician who connects an hour before start, live monitoring of every language channel and a per-session report on usage, languages and incidents.

Plans and pricing you can match to your event

You can be charged an hourly rate for short sessions, a daily rate for event days, or take an annual plan, so the billing can follow how often you run events. Interprefy does not publish prices. According to its pricing page, each quote depends on event duration, the number of languages, how many attendees need interpretation and whether you use human interpreters or AI.

The Interprefy Plans page explains the annual option. You buy a 12-month allocation of platform hours, then add Professional Services, Interpreter Services or Media Services as needed. Usage is deducted in 5-minute increments, with any started block counted in full, and all hours must be used between the contract start and end dates. The page lists volume-based savings and monthly usage reports but no figures. Neither page showed a price, rate or starting figure when checked on 5 November 2026, including after a full browser render of the pricing page.

The plan terms (last modified 4 June 2026) set out how you are billed. Platform hours are charged in 5-minute blocks, while professional services and interpreter hours are charged per started hour. The base amount can be invoiced upfront, monthly, quarterly or in agreed instalments, invoices are due within 30 days, quoted prices exclude VAT, and paying by credit card adds a 3.2% surcharge. Up to three hours of onboarding are included once at setup. You can terminate only within the first two months, paying for what you used plus a settlement fee that claws back the volume discount; after that the full 12-month amount is owed. Cancelling interpreter or professional services sessions costs 25% of the cancelled portion within 72 hours, 50% within 48 hours and 100% within 24 hours, and a meeting that overruns draws a further interpreter hour from your plan.

Free for your attendees, with a demo for you

Your attendees download and use the mobile app free; the organiser pays for the language services. There is no free plan or self-serve trial for organisers, and the site offers a demo request instead.

Integrations that keep your current platform

You can add interpretation to the meeting or event platform you already use: Interprefy says it works with 80+ of them. Its integrations page names Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, Cisco Webex, ON24, GoTo Webinar, RingCentral, Livestorm, Airmeet, Accelevents, Bizzabo, 6Connex, SpotMe, vFairs, CrowdComms, GevMe and BlueJeans. It connects in five ways:

• Interprefy Agent joins a Teams, Zoom, Google Meet or Webex call when you invite its email address and posts a link and QR code in the chat.
• Inject feeds interpretation into the meeting platform’s own language channels.
• Widget sits beside the stream on the event page.
• Virtual Cable captures platform audio so attendees follow in the Interprefy app or browser.
• AV connection routes floor audio from venue equipment.

The integrations pages do not describe a public developer API, so ask about one if you need it.

Deployment and security that reduce your data risk

You get a cloud service your attendees join from a link in the browser-based web platform, or through the iOS and Android app (an APK is offered for other Android devices) using a QR code or event token, with optional two-factor sign-in. The app streams 16-bit, 48 kHz audio. The security page states ISO 27001 certification, end-to-end encryption, role-based access, two-factor authentication, single sign-on, AWS hosting with an EU data residency option, and GDPR compliance. The home page adds that customer data is not used to train models. A public status page runs at status.interprefy.com.

The company behind it

You are dealing with a company that, in its ten-year announcement, said it had delivered more than 100,000 multilingual events. Interprefy launched in Zürich in November 2014, founded by Kim Ludvigsen, and its registered office is at Mühlebachstrasse 86, Zürich. It describes itself as a remote-first team spread across 29 countries.

What to check so you avoid surprise costs

• On an annual plan, ask how many platform hours you need; any left at the end of the 12 months are lost, and each started 5-minute block counts in full.
• Read the plan terms before signing. The 12-month commitment can only be ended in the first two months, and late session cancellations cost up to 100% of the cancelled portion.
• Find out which items are add-ons to the Platform Plan (interpreters, project management, remote support, media editing) and price each separately.
• Check which integration method suits your platform. Agent only covers Teams, Zoom, Google Meet and Webex; other event platforms use Inject, Widget or Virtual Cable.
• Confirm whether your languages are available for AI output (80+) or need human interpreters, and which you are paying for in each session.
• If you need EU data residency, get it written into the contract. The home page says the platform is hosted in Europe, while the security page describes EU residency as an option.
• For in-person events, test venue Wi-Fi or mobile coverage, as attendees need their own phone, headphones and a reliable connection.
