Technology under the hood
Live speech-to-speechmodel choice.
Tõlk.fm lets teams choose between enabled live speech-to-speech providers from OpenAI and Google Gemini. For technical and AV teams, the live path keeps translation closer to the source audio than conventional speech-to-text → translation → text-to-speech chains, reducing handoffs while preserving spoken nuance for listeners.
OpenAI
Google GeminiCare gets harder when languageslows the moment down.
Tõlk.fm keeps the event team in control while removing the parts of interpretation that usually slow a room down.
Help patients follow practical explanations, orientation steps, and next actions when they are navigating care in a non-native language.
Reduce confusion in private appointments and online consultations where time is limited and setting up a full interpretation workflow is not always realistic.
Offer a more discreet option than repeated speakerphone relays in waiting rooms, care desks, or one-to-one consultations.
A lighter multilingual patharound the care conversation.
Share a private listening path
Let the listener follow on their own device in the room or during an online care interaction.
Use text for critical details
Captions can support names, dates, appointment times, medication references, and follow-up instructions that need extra clarity.
Useful support, withstrict boundaries.
Private-device listening
A calmer option for clinics, reception desks, telehealth sessions, and one-to-one care discussions.
Text support for follow-up details
Captions can help people double-check names, schedules, dosage wording, and practical next steps.
Quick multilingual fallback
Useful when immediate language support is needed and a human interpreter is not available at that moment.
Scope-conscious use
Best for orientation, lower-risk explanations, and practical support rather than high-stakes clinical interpretation.
Works for remote care settings
Fits browser-based access in temporary, mobile, or online consultation settings.
Fast to test and deploy
Useful when some multilingual support is better than none, provided teams apply clear safety limits.
Important disclaimer formedical settings.
AI translation may make mistakes, miss nuance, or mishandle specialist medical terminology. For diagnosis, treatment decisions, consent, safeguarding, emergency care, medication risk, or other high-stakes clinical moments, Tolk.fm should be treated only as a supportive communication layer, not as a replacement for qualified human medical interpretation or licensed professional judgment.
Good fit
Patient orientation, intake, scheduling, follow-up logistics, online check-ins, and lower-risk private consultations.
Use captions for
Names, times, addresses, medication references, and follow-up instructions.
Do not rely on alone
Diagnosis, treatment choice, consent, emergency care, safeguarding, or similarly high-risk decisions.
Best practice
Test first, confirm critical information verbally and in writing, and escalate to a qualified human interpreter when stakes rise.
Developers & integrations
Bring Tõlk.fm into your applications
The Tõlk.fm Public API lets partner products integrate real-time voice translation into their own software and automated workflows — without building interpretation infrastructure, media workers, or listener delivery yourself. Expand how and where multilingual access shows up for your users and clients.
Programmatic control
Create events, add language channels, launch live translation, and stop sessions from your backend — no custom media infrastructure required.
Public listener links
Each launch returns a streamUrl: the public browser page where listeners pick a language and hear translated audio in real time.
Automated workflows
Wire Tõlk.fm into registration systems, venue apps, AV runbooks, and partner products so multilingual access ships with your own UX.
LIVESTREAMS & PRODUCTION
Pair your main program feed on YouTube, Vimeo, or your encoder with public listener links from the API, or mint direct WebSocket, HLS, and RTMP pull URLs for OBS, vMix, Castr, and custom production workflows. Route program audio into Tõlk.fm from a mixer, interface, or production feed.
