AI Interpreting You Can Rely On

Whether the push comes from a board mandate, an RFP, or the need for greater scale, one question stays the same: when’s the right time to use AI interpreting? Plenty of providers make claims, but fewer have the answer. 

Backed by 30 years of interpreting experience, and as early AI interpreting adopters, we understand where it performs well and where it doesn’t. Knowing where AI fits is what sets our experts apart.
Lia Live

A Fit-For-Purpose AI Interpreting Framework

Through Lia Live, our interpreting experts have built an approach that ensures it’s easy to apply AI to the appropriate setting. The decision lies in five key criteria. 
Some interactions can absorb a slip. A clinical instruction or legal discussion can't. We weigh that risk before deciding where AI fits.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is AI interpreting?

AI interpreting uses speech recognition, machine translation and AI-generated voice or captions to deliver real-time multilingual communication without a human interpreter in the conversation. It suits low-risk, high-volume settings and complements human interpreting rather than replacing it. 

When should I use AI interpreting instead of a human interpreter?

AI suits routine, single-speaker, low-risk interactions such as internal meetings, training, town halls and everyday customer support. Human interpreters remain essential for regulated, complex or liability-sensitive contexts such as clinical care, legal proceedings and high-stakes negotiations. 

How is Acolad’s AI interpreting different from other AI tools?

Our AI runs on Lia, our own platform, designed and deployed with our interpreting experts. Governance, disclosure and human escalation are built into every configuration. Many tools deliver translation from a generic platform, while we build interpreting knowledge into the technology itself. 

Is AI interpreting compliant with the EU AI Act and GDPR?

Our AI interpreting is designed to be EU AI Act compliant and GDPR aligned, with EU data residency available. AI is not deployed in high-risk contexts, such as healthcare and justice, unless it’s paired with mandatory human oversight. 

Can I use AI interpreting and human interpreters together?

Yes. Our hybrid model lets AI handle routine portions, with escalation to a human interpreter when complexity or risk increases. You can upload glossaries so AI output matches your terminology. 

What languages does AI interpreting support?

Real-time AI voice interpreting covers 50+ languages, with live captioning across a similar range. Coverage and accuracy vary by use case, and we advise on the best setup for your context.
