Two people, two languages, one table.
Three ways to run it, from the same station.
01
Shared tablet
The tablet lies flat between you, and each side reads the other's words in its own language.
02
Own phones
Each person scans a QR code with their own phone and listens or reads there, in the browser.
03
Wireless headsets
Up to three people at the table each wear a wireless headset, and each headset hears only its own language.
A medical, legal or contractual conversation still needs a qualified interpreter.
One microphone.
Many languages.
Take the wireless microphone to the person doing the talking. The tablet can come along too.
A microphone that comes with youUnclip it.
Take the floor.
Lift the microphone out of its dock and clip it to a shirt.

Take the tablet with you on a tour, or set it on the teacher’s desk. Listeners hear your voice in their own language through earbuds connected to their phones.

Learning on the job.
Explain it once. The team hears it in their own languages through earbuds.
It belongs to the room, not to a person.
Tap Lesson and the QR code fills the screen. Everyone scans and listens on their own phone, with no app.
Nobody signs in on it
The room keeps a permanent link and a printed QR code that work week after week.
Two big choices, in your own words
A school sees Lesson and Student or parent conversation. A municipality sees Meeting and Conversation with a resident.
Nothing personal on it
A tablet that goes missing is revoked from the console and stops working the next time it is opened.
What is in the box, in plain terms.
A station from us — the tablet and its stand, set up for the room — costs NOK 5,000 (USD 500 / EUR 459) per station excluding VAT, paid once, and it is yours to keep with a two-year warranty. The software runs on the organization plan you already have, in the same language-hours as every other session.
The tablet and its stand
A 10-inch Android tablet, or an iPad you already own, in a stand that works upright for a lesson and flat for a conversation.
The room microphone
A wireless clip-on microphone for a speaker who moves around. NOK 1,500 (USD 150 / EUR 138), paid once.
Wireless headsets
One per seat at the table, each hearing only its own language. NOK 2,500 (USD 250 / EUR 229) per headset, paid once.
Station questions.
Can we use a tablet we already have?
Yes — a 10-inch Android tablet or an iPad, with nothing to buy from us: it runs on your organization plan.
Does it record?
Only if you switch recording on. It is a separate switch, off by default, and a school's default is live-only. Set a session to temporary and no transcript line is written to our database at all.
Does it need Wi-Fi?
Yes — the room's Wi-Fi. The phones need a connection too.
What happens to the equipment if we stop using Koine?
It stays yours. While you use Koine, the station opens straight into Koine and we keep it updated. Ask us any time and we release it as an ordinary tablet, and if Koine ever closes, we release every station first. We never lock equipment over an unpaid bill; only the translation service stops.
Can we rent a station instead of buying one?
Yes, on request. A managed station, which Koine owns, maintains and replaces when its tablet stops getting updates, is NOK 3,000 (USD 300 / EUR 270) a year excluding VAT, and a station can also be rented for a single event. Ask us.
