International business translation for calls and meetings
SaviChat translates business video calls, voice calls, and messages in real time in 70+ languages, so a supplier, client, or colleague can speak their own language and you can speak yours without hiring an interpreter for every conversation.
It translates before you finish your sentence
Most apps that describe themselves as real-time are turn-based underneath. They wait for you to stop speaking, then transcribe, then translate, then speak — so the person listening sits in silence through everything you say and hears all of it afterwards. On anything longer than a short sentence that is a real wait, and it turns a conversation into a walkie-talkie.
SaviChat commits each clause the moment it is stable and translates it right then, without waiting for a pause. The person you are talking to hears your first sentence while you are still saying your second, and translated text streams on screen as you speak. A long answer arrives a piece at a time instead of all at once at the end. Someone who talks without pausing at all still gets flushed through in pieces rather than held to the end.
Test it yourself: You can check this on any translation app in about thirty seconds. Say three sentences without pausing between them. If nothing reaches the other person until you stop, it is turn-based. If they are hearing your first sentence while you are on your third, it is simultaneous. How SaviChat does this.
Where it fits
It is well suited to the recurring, medium-stakes conversations that make up most cross-border work: a check-in with a supplier, a scoping call with a contractor, a support conversation with a customer, day-to-day coordination with a colleague in another office. These are the calls that are too frequent to book an interpreter for and too important to conduct in broken English.
Captions during calls help when accents are heavy or the line is poor, and give both sides something to read back rather than asking a third time.
Where it does not fit
Contract negotiation, anything with legal exposure, regulated disclosures, and formal proceedings need a professional human interpreter. Machine translation is confident even when it is wrong, and in a negotiation that is a liability rather than a convenience. Use it for the working conversation and bring a human in for the moments that bind you.
Getting the other side on
Counterparties often will not install an app for one call. A guest link opens a translated conversation in their browser — no account, no download — which is usually the difference between the call happening and the call becoming an email thread.
What SaviChat does not do
- No offline mode — live translation needs an internet connection on both sides.
Common questions
Can you have a business video call in two different languages?
Yes. SaviChat translates video and voice calls in real time, so each participant speaks their own language and hears the other's, with optional captions. It supports 70+ languages and works on phones, Mac, Windows, and the web.
Is machine translation good enough for business?
For routine working conversations — coordination, updates, scoping, support — it is generally good enough, especially with captions to catch anything unclear. For contracts, negotiations, regulated disclosures, or legal proceedings, use a professional human interpreter. Machine translation does not flag its own uncertainty.
Does the other person need an account?
No. You can send a link that opens a translated conversation, including calls, in their browser with no account and no install.
Which languages are supported?
70+, including Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, Turkish, Polish, and Arabic.
Does SaviChat wait for me to finish speaking before it translates?
No. SaviChat commits each clause as soon as it is stable and translates it immediately, so the other person hears your first sentence while you are still speaking your second and sees translated text appear as you talk. Many apps described as real-time are turn-based instead: they wait for you to stop, then translate, then play the whole thing back.
