Qorden AI has launched Qordenate, a multilingual video-conferencing translation platform that provides simultaneous translation across more than one million language combinations.

The Dubai-based company said Qordenate translates speech in real time during video calls, allowing participants to hear meetings in their own language as they happen. It supports 33 languages and can handle up to six languages simultaneously in a single call.

The launch addresses a common problem in international workplaces, where meetings often involve speakers using English as a second language or switching between languages. Qorden said the platform is designed for those conditions, translating spoken conversation, live captions and in-meeting chat.

Users choose their preferred language before joining a meeting. The cloud-based system does not require software installation, according to the company.

Qordenate supports up to 300 participants per call. It also produces a smart recap after meetings and includes administrative controls for webinars and podcasts.

Qorden said the translation engine was trained on how people speak in professional settings rather than on textbook language patterns. That approach, it said, helps the system manage code-switching, including combinations such as Tagalog and English in Southeast Asia, German and Japanese in business discussions, and formal Arabic used in Gulf commerce.

The company said the platform delivers up to 97% translation accuracy with low latency. Users can also customise the output to reflect their own speaking tone and register rather than use a generic synthetic voice.

Accessibility focus

Alongside translation, the service includes an embedded feature called VoiceBridge, which provides text-to-speech conversion for users with speech impairments and other disabilities. Qorden pointed to the scale of that potential market, saying more than 170 million people worldwide have speaking disabilities.

Qordenate is built on what the company calls its Language Ecosystem, the common engine behind its wider product range. That portfolio also includes QSAP for contact-centre speech analytics, Dubbix for dubbing and content localisation, and QDub for real-time voice translation.

Qorden said the underlying platform is also designed to be available through application programming interfaces for developers and corporate teams that want to add multilingual functions to their own software.

Pricing model

The service is launching with a freemium structure, alongside Pro, Business, Scale and Enterprise plans. Qorden said its webinar product is priced on a pay-as-you-go basis according to participant numbers and call duration.

The company said the service runs on Amazon Web Services infrastructure and that it is a member of the Nvidia Inception Program.

Real-time language translation has become an increasingly contested area as companies try to reduce friction in remote work, customer service and cross-border collaboration. The challenge is maintaining speed and accuracy when multiple speakers, accents and mixed-language exchanges are involved in the same conversation.

Qorden is positioning its product around multilingual meetings rather than single language pairs. Many translation services work best when one language is treated as the source and another as the destination, while business meetings often involve several languages being used at once.

“By removing the language barrier, we are freeing people to focus on a deeper level of communication which favours important aspects of the communications experience, improving productivity, efficiency and overall team performance,” said Moeen Khan, Founder and CEO of Qorden AI.

Khan also set out the company’s view of the broader business problem. “The language barrier is a major cognitive challenge faced by every business in the world. Miscommunication often results in confusion, increased costs and project delays,” he said. “Solving this problem requires a complete language engine and collaboration platform built from scratch, not a feature overlay, and Qordenate delivers that and is able to execute near-perfect simultaneous translation in real time.”
