# LingoVoice

> LingoVoice is a real-time interpreting platform with voice and text translation, enabling multilingual communication across 260+ languages. Built for healthcare, legal, business, and education settings. No app download required — works in any modern web browser. Operated by Lingo Service Translations, Cardiff, United Kingdom.

## Overview

LingoVoice lets people who speak different languages communicate in real time. Users join a shared room using a 6-character code, each selects their own language, and every message — text or voice — is automatically translated for all participants.

The platform uses multiple professional-grade translation engines to deliver reliable results across all supported languages. Voice messages are transcribed, translated, and optionally read aloud using natural-sounding text-to-speech voices.

## How It Works

1. Create a free account (email, Google, or Microsoft sign-in)
2. Enter your name and select your language
3. Create a room or join with a 6-character code
4. Share the room code with other participants
5. Start communicating — all messages are translated in real time

## Organisation Accounts

Teams and companies can create an organisation with a shared minute pool. Owners and admins can invite members by email, manage roles, and purchase minutes for the whole team. Organisation minutes are used first, before individual balances.

## Guest Access

Hosts can generate a guest invite link from within any active room. Guests join via the link at lingovoice.ai/join — no account or signup needed. They enter their name and language, then join the conversation with text and voice. Guest usage is billed to the host's balance (or their organisation pool). When the host leaves or runs out of minutes, guests are automatically disconnected.
