Singapore, February 27, 2024 – Green Terp Technologies Pte Ltd (“Green Terp”), a pioneering SaaS provider in the space of multi-lingual meeting and event technologies, is proud to announce the launch of GT Enhancer, a revolutionary audio enhancement feature designed to elevate any simultaneous interpreting experience.
Building on the success of its previous innovations, Green Terp continues to set new standards with GT Enhancer, addressing critical challenges faced by interpreters in conferences and meetings, especially in remote settings.
GT Enhancer, our latest breakthrough technology, is designed to significantly enhance interpreter performance by tackling common obstacles like disturbing background noises, echoes, and sound artifacts from the speakers’ end that frequently disrupt the interpreting process. These issues, vividly discussed by UNOG interpreters Amy Brady and Martin Pickles in their article titled “We miss being able to understand the voices in our heads,” are effectively mitigated by GT Enhancer, marking a significant advancement in the field.
This epoch-making innovation from Green Terp marks a crucial milestone in mitigating the impact of disruptive ambient noise, putting an end to uncontrollable toxic sounds that have long posed a substantial challenge to interpreters and hindered the effectiveness of their work.
The key features of GT Enhancer include:
• Background Noise Removal: GT Enhancer effectively eliminates disturbing background noises and echoes, such as dog barks, baby cries, traffic sounds, and artifact noise from microphones. This enhancement significantly improves interpreter focus and ensures a clearer audio feed.
• Speaker Voice Enhancement: The feature optimizes the speaker’s voice to empower interpreters in delivering a more accurate and nuanced interpretation. This enhancement is achieved without manipulating the original source sound, ensuring authenticity and clarity.
• True to Original Sound: GT Enhancer stands out as the only feature in the market that stays true to the original sound, avoiding artificial frequency manipulation for a more clarified sound.
• Applicable to both input and output: This feature not only substantially enhances the incoming sound from speakers but also proves invaluable in generating clear microphone sounds when interpreters operate in noisy environments, as may be encountered in exceptional situations.
This commitment to authenticity sets GT Enhancer apart from other solutions that may compromise the integrity of the audio source, providing interpreters with an unparalleled level of authenticity in their work.
Essential for Remote Interpreting
Beyond enhancing interpreting performance, GT Enhancer plays a crucial role in protecting interpreters’ hearing by ensuring a clear and natural audio feed. When combined with DAW tools such as Audacity to convert analogue sound into digital, GT Enhancers works equally well in a physical booth with any SI consoles.
“GT Enhancer is a result of years of audio processing and AI research together accumulated by the team of Green Terp, representing a major leap forward in the realm of remote interpreting, addressing the persistent challenges interpreters face in virtual environments,” Dr. Bernard Song, the founder and CEO of Green Terp, who is a veteran conference interpreter and computer scientist.
“In our initial efforts to tackle the challenge of background noise during interpreter sessions conducted without a soundproof booth on-site, our True Virtual Booth unexpectedly presented a reverse application in audio processing for incoming sound. This discovery marks a breakthrough, as controlling the source audio has perennially posed challenges, especially without insight into the speakers’ equipment. Leveraging an AI-driven approach, we have successfully transformed the speaker’s voice from being virtually unintelligible to interpretable in the majority of cases. By preserving the integrity of the original sound, GT Enhancer not only elevates interpreter performance but also safeguards the auditory well-being of our invaluable interpreters.”
“GT remains dedicated to pushing the boundaries of innovation within the language interpretation industry. GT Enhancer is a testament to the company’s commitment to delivering practical solutions that address the evolving needs of interpreters in an increasingly remote and dynamic world.”
