Wordly Interpretation Platform Brings Greater Inclusivity and Engagement to Participants of Virtual, Hybrid and In-Person Meetings Worldwide

LOS ALTOS, Calif., April 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Wordly, the leading SaaS provider of AI-powered simultaneous interpretation services, today announced a notable adoption achievement of its real-time translation platform with one million global meeting, event, and conference attendees using the service. This milestone comes on the heels of a record breaking 2021, where the company grew its business by 10x, introduced multiple platform enhancements and expanded key technology partnerships.

Launched in 2019, the Wordly interpretation platform provides real-time translation for over 500 customers in a variety of industries including technology, professional services, healthcare, manufacturing, media, non-profit, and government with multilingual interpretation services.

"We founded Wordly to increase inclusivity for all participants regardless of location or language, and to encourage engagement. Our AI-powered interpretation solution makes it possible for any organization to be more inclusive with their employees, members and citizens without the high cost of human interpreters.
