Log in to your account at lbsaudio.com. Go to your Dashboard and look for the License section. You will see your license key displayed there.

Click the Copy button to copy your license key.

Launch the LBS Audio application from your desktop or Start menu. The first time you open it, you will see the activation screen.

Paste your license key into the text box and click Activate. Make sure you are connected to the internet.

Once activated, you will see a confirmation with your plan details.

Use the same email and password you created when signing up on the website.

After logging in, you will see the main dashboard. From here you can:

• Create and manage Locations
• Create and manage Events
• Add Languages for interpretation
• Set up Interpreters
• Configure Audio Sources
• Start the Server to go live
• Enable AI Translation for automatic dubbing
• Record your event audio

In the app, click on Locations in the sidebar menu.

Click the + Add Location button to create a new location.

Click Save to create your location. You can now use it when creating events.

In the app, click on Events in the sidebar menu.

Click the + Create Event button to start setting up your event.

Click Save to create the event. Next, you'll add languages to it.

Click on Languages in the sidebar, or open your event and go to the Languages tab.

Click + Add Language and fill in the details:

Add all the languages you need. For example, if you have a conference with English, Spanish, and French interpretation, add all three.

Click on Sources in the sidebar menu.

Click + Add Source and configure:

Speak into the microphone and check that the audio level meter responds. Adjust the volume if needed.

Click on Users or Interpreters in the sidebar menu.

Click + Add User and fill in:

Give the interpreter their username, password, and the server address so they can connect.

Share your local IP address with the interpreter (found in the Server section of your app). It looks like: 192.168.1.100

The interpreter enters the server address in their web browser and sees the login page.

Using the username and password you created, they log in and see their interpreter panel.

The interpreter can hear the floor audio (original speaker) and speak into their microphone. Their translation goes to their assigned language channel.

Click on Server in the sidebar menu.

You will see your computer's Local IP Address displayed (e.g., 192.168.1.100). This is what you'll share with listeners and interpreters.

Click the Start Server button. The status will change to green, showing the server is running.

Your event is now broadcasting. Interpreters and listeners can connect using your IP address.

With the server running, go to Share or QR Code in the app. You'll see a QR code ready to share.

You can:

• Display the QR code on a screen for attendees to scan with their phone camera
• Copy the link and share it via email, WhatsApp, or any messaging app
• Print the QR code on event materials

When a listener scans the QR code or opens the link:

• A web page opens in their browser (works on any phone or computer)
• They see a list of available languages
• They tap their preferred language
• Audio starts playing through their device

While your event is running, you can see:

• Listener Count - How many people are connected in real time
• Language Breakdown - How many listeners per language channel
• Interpreter Status - Who is connected and active
• AI Channel Status - Active AI translation channels and their health
• Audio Levels - Visual meters showing audio activity

During the event you can:

• Adjust volume levels for any channel
• Mute or unmute channels
• Enable or disable recording

When finished, click Stop Server to end the broadcast. Listeners will be disconnected.

Start your server and go to the Broadcaster page. You will see the AI Translation panel on the side.

Click + Add AI Source and configure:

Click the Start button on your AI source. The AI pipeline will:

• Listen to the floor audio in real time
• Convert speech to text automatically
• Translate the text to the target language
• Generate natural-sounding audio in the target language
• Stream it as a new language channel for listeners

You can add multiple AI language channels at the same time. Each one runs independently, so you can start and stop individual languages without affecting the others.

While AI translation is running, you can see:

• Status Badge - Shows if the channel is active, starting, or has an error
• Elapsed Time - How long the AI translation has been running
• Usage Stats - Characters processed and estimated cost

When AI translation is running, subtitles are generated automatically. No extra setup is required.

Listeners on an AI-translated channel will see:

• Translated Subtitles - The translated text in their selected language
• Original Text - The original transcript from the speaker
• Real-Time Updates - Subtitles appear as the speaker talks, with partial results that refine as more context is captured

Listeners can toggle subtitles on or off from their player controls. The subtitle overlay appears at the bottom of the audio player with a smooth animated display.

While your event is live, go to the Monitor section. You will see a Record button for each language channel.

Click the Record button on the channels you want to capture. A red indicator will show that recording is active.

You can record multiple channels simultaneously - for example, record both the Floor audio and all interpretation channels.

Click the Stop button to end recording. The audio file is saved automatically to your local recordings folder.

Recordings are stored locally on your computer. You can find them in the application's recordings directory and share them as needed.
