Data protection-compliant real-time translations: How Stream1 safely overcomes language barriers
The world is moving closer together and language barriers should no longer be an obstacle. Automatic translation technologies have developed rapidly in recent years and make communication in international contexts much easier. Especially at events, business meetings or medical consultations, real-time subtitles play a crucial role. Stream1 offers state-of-the-art solutions that are not only technologically impressive, but also comply with the highest data protection standards. In this article, we shed light on the technical implementation and show how Stream1 enables data protection-compliant real-time translation.
Automatic translation – Efficient and safe thanks to AI
Modern automatic translation is based on artificial intelligence and neural networks that recognize complex language patterns and process them in real time. Stream1 uses OpenAI Whisper Large as its language model, which offers impressive precision and versatility with 1.55 billion parameters. The model supports multiple languages and requires around 10 gigabytes of VRAM to run in real time. Thanks to a relative speed of 1x, Whisper delivers high-quality transcriptions and translations with virtually no delay.
This powerful model allows us to transcribe spoken language in real time and translate it simultaneously into multiple languages. This is particularly valuable for live streaming events with subtitles, online conferences, training courses and international corporate communications.
Data protection as top priority: German livestream servers
Many translation services rely on cloud solutions that outsource data to external servers – a significant data protection risk. Stream1 takes a different approach: all processing takes place within a protected environment on the company’s own servers. This means that no sensitive audio or text data passes through external cloud services. Our servers are located in German data centers from German providers and are subject to strict data protection guidelines. This strict control reduces the risk of data leaks and ensures compliance with all applicable data protection regulations.
Powerful infrastructure without compromise: Server with GPU
Our dedicated servers are equipped with high-performance graphics cards that optimize both the transcoding of the video data and the AI-supported transcription in real time. This enables us to immediately capture linguistic content from live streams and translate it into multiple languages in parallel. This enables high-quality subtitling for an international audience – ideal for events, webinars, conferences and live streams with multilingual audiences.
Future-proof translation technology: Whisper Large
The future of automatic translation will be shaped by edge computing, where data is processed closer to the user. Stream1 is already using this technology today to minimize delays and further improve data protection at the same time. This enables companies, event organizers and institutions to benefit from secure, accurate and fast translations.
Conclusion: Communicate without limits – securely and efficiently
Automatic real-time translations are no longer a vision of the future, but have long since become reality. However, few providers combine precision, speed and data protection as consistently as Stream1. With a secure infrastructure, local data centers and powerful AI technology, we are setting new standards. Whether international conferences, medical consultations or confidential meetings – with Stream1 you get a professional solution for livestream subtitling and transcription without data protection risks.
