The technology, made approachable

Start with a conversation.

Phontus brings the hardware, interpretation and support together. Your team stays focused on the person in front of them.

A familiar rhythm

Speak. Listen.
Keep the connection.

01

Confirm the languages

Choose the languages for the conversation and start a session. Spanish and English are supported at launch.

02

Speak naturally, one turn at a time

Speak to each other. Phontus interprets out loud and shows the exchange on screen, so both people can follow along.

03

Bring in a person when needed

Request a human interpreter from the session when the conversation needs additional support.

Human interpreters, part of the system

AI for the everyday.
A person when
it matters.

Different conversations need different levels of support. Start everyday exchanges with AI. For additional complexity or your organization’s requirements, staff can request a human interpreter from the same session — on a kit or the Phone Line.
