Real-Time Language Access for Smart Cities

Have you ever had that dream where you’re trying to speak, but no sound comes out? Or maybe you’ve found yourself in a foreign country, needing help but unable to find the right words to use?

But what if there was a way to break through these barriers, enabling seamless, real-time communication with just a few taps?

In today’s episode of Preview of Tomorrow, Mike Lake speaks with Jennifer Quigley from TranslateLive. Their solution, the ILA, is transforming how citizens can access language services, helping cities connect with residents who need their voices heard the most.
