Conversation Mode

Press to Speak, Release to Listen

Natural two-way conversation with push-to-talk. Perfect for negotiations, consultations, travel and daily conversations.

What is conversation interpretation?

Conversation interpretation is an interpretation method where two people take turns speaking in their own languages. InterLive's conversation mode works like a walkie-talkie: hold the button to speak, release to listen. It is the most token-efficient two-way mode at 1 token per minute.

Set your language and your partner's language independently.

Both sides' original speech and translation are saved in a paired format when done.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between conversation and live interpretation?

Live interpretation is one-directional (presenter to audience), while conversation mode is two-way (two people taking turns). Conversation mode suits negotiations and consultations where dialogue flows back and forth.

What happens if both people speak at the same time?

The push-to-talk design ensures only one person speaks at a time. Simultaneous speech is intentionally prevented.

When is conversation mode the best choice?

Ideal for 1:1 negotiations with foreign partners, customer consultations, conversations with locals while travelling, and multilingual interviews.

How is it different from face-to-face mode?

Conversation mode uses a button to take turns on one device, while face-to-face mode lets two people speak simultaneously. Face-to-face mode consumes 2 tokens per minute.
