AREC at ISE 2025 — AI Speech-to-Text Translation Station

In our previous post, we highlighted one of the two new products debuting at the ISE 2025: the 4K-capable, 9-channel Speaker Tracking Station. If you missed it, make sure to read about it here: https://www.a-dena.com/post/arec-at-ise2025-4k-speaker-tracking-station-with-9-channels

This time, let’s unveil our second star of the show: the new two-way AI Translation Station!

Available in a portable version with a built-in touchscreen as well as a standard configuration with multiple video outputs, this device enables seamless communication between speakers of different languages. The station utilises Google’s Speech-to-Text API and supports numerous languages and dialects, making it an ideal fit for hotels, banks, governmental institutions, conference rooms, and other settings where tourists and foreign visitors may require assistance in their language.

The device is defined by its highly convenient design. Users simply select their language and press the microphone icon to start speaking. Their speech is captioned in their language and translated into that of the other speaker, with both languages displayed side by side. If certain words or concepts are unclear, users can select them on the dialogue display and use the keyword image search feature to find related pictures. After the conversation, .txt transcripts in both languages can be saved onto a connected USB flash drive.

Our new device was created to make communication easier, so why not see for yourself how accurate and helpful it is? Book a personal demonstration via the link below and experience the comfort of speaking your language while being fully understood by others.

Case Study: AREC + Televic, the formula for every successful council

Dear ADENA Partners, in this case study, we review how Rochford Council in the UK successfully uses the AREC DS-4CU together with the Televic Confidea discussion system. Thanks to the efforts of our distributor, Tukans, and system integrator, Nuway, Rochford Council now embodies its “Simpler, clearer, faster” slogan in every council meeting, increasing transparency and improving public outreach. Learn more about how the systems work below and watch the system in action on the Council’s YouTube channel.

Rochford Council is a governmental institution responsible for district services and providing information for the Rochford district. This includes plans for local economic development, tourism, housing, jobs, and many other matters. The council’s workload necessitates frequent meetings and debates, which, until recently, were streamed with a single camera. 

While the streams did make the meetings publicly visible, they only conveyed the bare minimum. Important parts of the proceedings, such as computer-shared content and diagrams, could not be displayed, and it was not possible to focus on active speakers without manual control of the camera. Consequently, the council decided to look for a way to improve its streaming setup, and thanks to the efforts of our distributor, Tukans, and system integrator, Nuway, found that the AREC DS-4CU was exactly what they needed.

DS-4CU Speaker Tracking Station

The DS-4CU is a speaker-tracking station that supports up to four video sources connected by HDMI, VGA, or network. It is integrated with a variety of popular discussion systems on the market, including Audio-Technica, Shure, Bosch, Televic, and others. The station can select a customisable layout with multiple video sources, switch overlays and backgrounds, and control PTZ movement of each connected camera uniquely for every speaker in a fully automatic mode. The combination of these features allows Rochford Council to clearly display the current speaker, switch to opposite cameras to display councillors on the other side of the chambers, and show various computer content as part of the livestream. 

Televic Confidea

Our station is used together with the Televic Confidea, a bespoke and robust discussion system for councils. It ensures that every speaker is clearly heard and comes with a multitude of features tailored to council meetings, such as voting, RFID authentication, and more, which Rochford Council uses in every meeting.

The council has joined the long list of successful meeting transformation projects accomplished with AREC, and you can see the results on its YouTube channel. Is your council also looking for a solution to improve recording, streaming, and conferencing processes? Reach out to us at www.a-dena.com, and we will be happy to arrange a discussion to show why AREC is the right solution.
