Pick languages. Share the QR code. Open the SalamAI console in your browser, connect your mic or mixer and choose the languages your audience needs. Then share translated audio and captions on speakers, screens or phones. [Open the console→](https://salam-console.cosinechat.com/) Connect, translate and share Capture · Translate · Share In short ## How does SalamAI work at an event? Updated 30 October 2026 Setting up takes three steps. First, open the SalamAI console in a supported browser and connect your audio: a headset, room microphone, mixer or, where your browser supports it, computer audio. Second, choose the output languages your audience needs, up to ten from one console. Third, share the result: each language gets its own QR code and link for phones, and you can open a caption window on a projector or screen. During the session, the operator starts and stops translation and controls who can join. Test the sound, the languages and a guest phone before doors open, because AI processing adds a short delay. ### What does the operator do during a session? The operator runs the session from the SalamAI console, the browser workspace for live translation. Before starting, they choose the translation type, the audio source and the output languages. During the session, they start and stop translation, watch the audio level, adjust each language’s volume and captions, and manage who can join through the audience links. They can also open caption windows for screens. Each Start to Stop is a run with its own name, report rows and documents, so when a talk finishes they press Stop, and the next talk starts a new run. Test the whole flow once before the real event, with the same computer, microphone and network.

Choose languages. Share. 01 ### Choose your source Connect a microphone or mixer. You can also capture tab or system audio where supported, or use a remote speaker. Panel sessions can select the active speaker from separate microphones. 02 ### Choose your output Choose translated audio and subtitles, translated text, or captions in the original language. One-way translation supports up to ten output languages. Each language has separate controls and billing. 03 ### Choose how to share Play audio, show captions on a screen, or share a phone link for each language. Choose audio, captions, approval and expiry for each link. ### Audio sharing depends on your browser Allow microphone access when asked. Computer audio capture and speaker selection vary by browser and device. Test your equipment before the session. Connect your equipment ## Connect your microphone or mixer. Connecting a venue mixer or USB headsets? Follow the wiring diagrams and check the minimum requirements for the Console and Companion.

Voice and subtitles - Model A (Google) sends audio from your browser to Google. Subtitle-only translation and optional language detection send audio through SalamAI services. Phones, remote microphones and audience listening use relay services.

Press Ctrl/Cmd + K to find a page. 02 ### Name each console, session and run Each browser tab is its own console with its own name and audience links. Before Start, name the session, such as Hall 1, and the run, such as Talk 2. Reports, History and transcripts use those names. 03 ### Shared audio is checked before Start When you share a browser tab, window or screen, the console listens for up to five seconds. If the share has no sound, no session starts and the console tells you what was shared, so you can choose again.

The console menus are available in English, Malay and Chinese. 05 ### Get help in the console Help Angel (beta) gives setup guidance in the console and campaign page when enabled. “Let the Angel see this screen” can share safe settings, status messages and recent errors. It does not read typed text, captions, transcripts, names, private lists or links. Turn this option off for general help.

The source can be a microphone, mixer or supported shared computer audio.
