Planning your event
At Doha’s GEM Summit on 29 January 2026, Baian translated Dr Nayef Bin Nahar’s Arabic speech into Spanish among eight output languages. Attendees used phones and the venue’s large screen to follow the session.
The event also used human interpreters, who worked there alongside Baian.
Spanish in the GEM Summit case study ↗The listener’s next screen asks ‘¿Cómo prefieres seguir la sesión?’ after they choose Español. Escuchar selects audio and Leer selects text. The interface stays in their chosen language as the attendee follows the Arabic speaker.
Arabic and Spanish are official UN languages. When an event brings these audiences together, specify which talks use Arabic and whether Spanish questions will also need translation for the chair.

How long after a sentence ends its finished translation appears.
Baian, on its production Live service.
Measured on Baian’s production Live service from 13 to 15 October 2026, from the end of each spoken sentence to the finished English line in our captured listener feed. Earlier words in a long sentence wait longer than this. Spoken audio arrives a little after the text and was not measured.
Estimated medians: the speaker’s words appear in their own language about 1.0 seconds after they are spoken, and the first translation covering a word about 2.4 seconds after it.
Estimated from our captured listener feed for the same 53 recordings. The capture is incomplete, so some early previews are missing, and previews can still change before the sentence is finished. Times are measured to the feed, not to a phone screen.
Median 2.69 seconds behind the speaker, across 180 speeches.
