In a globalised world, guided tours are becoming increasingly international. Whether factory tours, city tours or events with participants from different countries - the challenge always remains the same: how can all guests be reached equally if they do not speak the same language?
Traditionally, interpreters are often used. However, this is not only cost-intensive, but often also complicated to organise. Spontaneous questions or discussions within the group are often difficult to realise with conventional solutions. This is where the live translation set from BMS Audio offers a well thought-out alternative. It combines state-of-the-art technology with practical handling and ensures a professional, multilingual management experience.
How does the live translation set work?
The centrepiece of this solution is an innovative app that is integrated directly into the existing BMS Audio tour guide system. Currently, the TOM-Audio® TG-200 and the TOM-Audio TG-100 are compatible. Here is the process:
- Real-time translation: the guide speaks into Smartphone 1, which is running the elysium® app. The speech is translated in real time.
- Passing on the audio: Smartphone 2 receives the translated speech and passes it on to the tour guide system via an audio cable.
- Individual choice: Participants have the option of switching between the original audio and the translation on the receiver. This allows them to enjoy the tour individually.
This setup offers unique flexibility, as it is not only efficient but also easy to use - even for less technically experienced guides.
The advantages at a glance
The live translation set from BMS Audio is more than just a technical upgrade. It has been specially developed to solve the typical challenges of guided tours with international participants. The most important advantages include:
- Simplicity: the system is ready to use in just a few steps. Guides and participants do not need a long familiarisation period.
- Cost efficiency: The monthly hire option means that the solution remains affordable even for occasional use.
- High audio quality: Even in noisy environments such as production facilities, the sound remains clear and intelligible.
- Maximum mobility: Thanks to a special transport and charging bag, all devices are safely stowed away and ready to hand at all times.
- Customisation: Participants are free to decide whether they want to listen to the original sound or the translation.
Where is the live translation set used?
The possible applications are as varied as our customers' requirements. Here are a few examples:
- Industrial companies: factory tours for international business partners or customers are much easier to realise with this solution.
- Tourism and culture: city tours, museum visits or events with mixed groups benefit from the flexibility.
- Education sector: Seminars and lectures that appeal to participants from different countries can be significantly enhanced by real-time translations.
- Cruises and travel events: International guests expect high-quality guided tours - here the translation set ensures a positive experience.
A specific example from practice
A company in the manufacturing industry regularly had international visitors for factory tours. Previously, interpreters were used, but this was often expensive and inflexible. With the live translation set, the company was not only able to save costs, but also respond spontaneously to questions from participants. The guests were delighted with the option to choose between original sound and translation and praised the professional realisation of the tour.
Another advantage was the mobility of the system: the devices were easy to transport and could be charged directly on site. This meant that the guided tours remained stress-free and efficient, even in the event of spontaneous changes.
Technology that inspires
The live translation set from BMS Audio is not just a technical solution, but a tool that takes guided tours to a new level. It enables clear communication, regardless of language barriers, and offers a flexibility that traditional interpreting solutions cannot provide.
With this technology, companies are showing that they are taking modern challenges seriously and finding innovative ways to offer their guests a first-class experience.
