Instant: Real‑Time

Meeting Translation

Instant is a cross‑platform app for 1:1 and group meetings with real‑time transcription and translation. It supports quick calls, calendar scheduling, adding/removing participants, finding users on a map, and starting a call with a QR code. For large events there’s a Conference Mode: several speakers can talk while thousands listen with live translation and captions at near‑imperceptible latency.

Problem

  • On-the-fly translation with live captions needed

  • Minimal latency via WebRTC

  • Simple scheduling & participant control

  • Both small meetings and large conferences

Problem
02

Challenge

Plavno identified 4 challenges that consistently break live multilingual experiences:

  • Real-time Translation: Natural speech translation with minimal latency and high accuracy

  • Flexible Formats: Support for 1:1, groups, and multi-speaker broadcast modes

  • Smooth UX: Instant start, calendar integration, map discovery, and QR joining

  • Reliability & Scale: Elastic cloud scaling with consistent performance

Challenge

Transforming Сommunication

Solution

The multilingual voice stack for calls and conferences — modular components, sub-second path, domain accuracy, global reach. Before the architecture, here’s what it does:

Product Highlights

    • Real‑time pipeline: Speech → Transcription → Machine Translation → TTS/Subtitles.

    • Two call modes: instant and scheduled.

    • Groups up to 50: add/remove participants on the fly.

    • Conference Mode: multiple speakers, thousands of listeners.

    • Map search and QR code call creation.

    • Call history  for 1:1 and group sessions.

    • Low‑latency WebRTC resilient to packet loss.

User Flows

    • Start Now: create a room and invite via QR/link.

    • Schedule: pick time, participants, and roles (speakers/listeners).

    • Join a Conference: select language, listen with translated audio, read captions.

Experience & Scale

    • Live experience: Sub-second perceived latency that feels conversational.

    • Accuracy under pressure: Maintains domain fidelity during fast speech and code-switching.

    • Operational simplicity: Plug-in SDKs; deploy without backend surgery.

    • Audience scale: Thousands of concurrent listeners per session, multi-region.

    • Post-event assets: Clean audio + VTT/SRT delivered automatically.

Architecture Overview

Deep Dive: Project Architecture

    • Clients: Web (React) and Mobile (React Native) connect to media servers via WebRTC. State via Redux Toolkit / React Query.

    • RTC/Media layer: nodes on AWS EC2; signaling over WebSocket; media processing in Express/WebRTC services.

    • STT: dedicated speech‑to‑text server returns partial and final transcripts.

    • NMT (translation): machine translation module produces target‑language text.

    • TTS: Azure TTS synthesizes audio; subtitles stream to clients in parallel.
