TranslateLive ILA Devices

The dual-sided ILA Pro enables real-time communication in over 120 languages and dialects, making it a perfect solution for those who speak different languages or have different communication abilities. You can simply speak or type onto the device, and the text will appear instantly in the chosen language of both users. The device is accurate, encrypted, and supports access for those who are deaf, hard of hearing, low vision, blind or deaf-blind. Moreover, the two-sided devices' real-time translation feature allows you to verify the accuracy of the conversation as it is seen and/or voiced on both screens.
