LOBAKA was born in Algiers.
A voice-technology company for multilingual audiences, born of one observation: in most venues, simultaneous interpretation does not exist, because its cost rules it out.
A simple observation.
Every participant already carries in their pocket the best audio receiver ever invented. All it needs is the right channel. That is the starting point of LOBAKA Sasa.
We made that observation in real venues: a service followed by worshippers of several languages, a symposium where part of the audience drops out, a tour where the guide can only speak one language at a time. Everywhere the same impossible logistics, and everywhere phones in pockets.
So LOBAKA builds LOBAKA Sasa with real venues and real audiences, one rule at a time: measure, say what is proven and what is not yet, and promise nothing else.
What we hold ourselves to.
01No promise without proof
No latency figure, no customer, no testimonial until they exist. This site says what is measured and what isn't yet.
02The phone people already have
No proprietary hardware, no app to install, no account to listen. The technology steps back behind the gesture.
03Every language, on equal footing
A channel is a channel: Lingala, Swahili, Kabyle, Arabic or English, every language has the same place in the room, with no hierarchy and no paid option.
04Limits stated
Ceilings are enforced by the server and shown to the organizer. When a limit is reached, access is refused with a clear message, never degraded in silence.

The rooms that make us better.
Every pilot session published here is published with the consent of the organization involved: venue, audience size, channels and languages, reliability, participant feedback.
No pilot has been published yet. The first sessions take place in September 2026; their results will appear here, with real data.

Congress, university, institution, museum, church, festival: if your audience doesn't speak a single language, let's talk.
