Korean–Chinese event interpretation: AI live captions and voice (2026 pricing)
BizCrush interprets talks and conversations between Korean and Chinese with live captions and AI voice. In Korea, Event captions cost ₩1,000,000 per full day (VAT excluded), whatever the number of caption languages; adding Chinese voice interpretation makes it ₩2,000,000. Outside Korea, the same day is US$1,000, or US$2,000 with voice. At a Korea Build Week 2026 briefing (August 5, 2026, COEX Seoul), a Korean presentation, Chinese questions and Korean answers ran without a separate interpreter.
Where it is used
- Business matching with buyers from China and Taiwan
- Briefings and tech talks at trade shows (with Q&A)

How to choose
- Protocol, negotiations, legal and contract sessions: human interpreters are the right fit.
- Talks and seminars, multinational audiences, business matching with many tables: AI captions and voice fit.
- Both together: an interpreter covers one language pair, and BizCrush covers on-screen captions and the other languages. See how the SLW 2026 Mayors Forum did it
How it runs
- Before the event: register slides, names of people and companies, and technical terms. You can fix how specific words are translated into Chinese.
- On the day: the stage screen shows the original and Chinese captions, and attendees can follow on their own phones via QR. Voice is heard on a language channel of the venue receivers. No app install needed.
- In Korea, on-site staff handle setup, testing and output for each language. Outside Korea, we run pre-event training and connection testing, then operate remotely on the day.
