Houston, TX August 5, 2010 – omNovia Technologies, a leading global provider of online meetings, high quality webinars, engaging online trainings and live event webcasting solutions, today announced the availability of their multilingual web conferencing platform that allows companies to host web conferences in a variety of languages simultaneously. With this unique feature, multinational companies, as well as small to medium sizes businesses with an international clientele base, can conduct one single virtual meeting with multilingual channels, instead of spending time and money to hold different online meetings for each language required.

How It Works

As attendees log in, they are given the option to choose one from available language channels. For each language channel, a local language translator or interpreter is required who would listen to the audio stream coming from the main room and then simultaneously translate it for the attendees who are associated with the language. Attendees would hear only the translated audio, while the other room features such as chat, documents and slide shows are displayed in the language of their choice.
Furthermore, omNovia is architecturally designed to support any language and character set and currently the omNovia Web Conferencing interface is available in over ten different languages including Spanish, French, Russian, Chinese and Arabic.

Shawn Shadfar, C.E.O. of omNovia Technologies stated that “Although there are many automated translation programs in the market, the current state of such technology can only accurately translate up to 80% of real-time human speech, which is not acceptable for business applications. Instead of relying on an automated translation, we decided to offer a United Nation style of simultaneous translation with human translators.”

In addition to multilingual virtual rooms, omNovia’s web conferencing provides:

• Instant access with no software to install
• Interactive tools and high definition (HD) live video streaming
• A reliable and scalable platform that can support up to 5,000 participants
• Fully customizable virtual rooms that maintain brand identity
• Unique recording functionality that enables interactive replays
