- Events that run inside Zoom or Microsoft Teams with a dedicated app.
- An organisation that wants a sales contact, a contract and enterprise account features.
When All Voices is the better fit
- A meeting, a class, a workshop or a church service, where one phone near the speaker is the whole setup.
- Several speakers in the room who should be labelled, or people who switch languages mid-sentence.
- A conversation between two people in two languages, without push-to-talk.
- Notes afterwards: a summary with decisions and action items, in the language you choose.
- A small budget, or a first try today: 30 minutes free, then hours from $9 that never expire.
