Qonda: A new startup provides a platform for virtual simultaneous interpreting to simplify hosting multi-language online conferences

In June 2020, two industry experts – Benjamin Bühl (Dolmetscheragentur24 GmbH) and Mike Bertsch (B&B Technik + Events) – pool their competences, establish BeMi Virtuell GmbH and launch Qonda, a browser-based remote interpreting platform. It is an online service for booking and assigning simultaneous interpreters for online conferences – in any language. Instead of having to be present on site of the conference, the interpreters can now dial in to the event from wherever they are located to provide their interpretation. Qonda is compatible with all common video platforms but can also be used on its own as a stand-alone video conference platform.
