SimCapture offers flexible transcript generation designed to support a wide range of simulation environments and spoken languages. The platform uses two complementary capabilities to ensure accuracy and reliability:

  • Single language selection - A primary transcription language is explicitly selected.
  • Multi-language selection - Additional spoken languages can be automatically detected and transcribed, depending on the primary language.

Together, these features support both monolingual and multilingual sessions while maintaining transcription quality.

Primary Transcription Language (Single Language Selection)

The Primary transcription language defines the base language used for transcript generation in every session.

Key Points

  • Users may select from a broad set of supported languages.
  • All listed languages support single language transcription.
  • The primary transcription language is always required, even when multilanguage transcription is enabled.
  • Selecting a primary language allows organizations to explicitly control transcription behavior and meet diverse global workflow needs.

This mode is ideal for sessions where participants speak a consistent language and where accuracy in a single language is the priority.

Additional Languages (Multi-Language Selection)

SimCapture can detect and transcribe multiple languages within the same session when the selected primary language supports this capability.

Key Points

  • Multilanguage transcription is available only for supported primary languages.
  • When a compatible primary language is chosen, users may enable multilanguage transcription and select additional languages from a supported subset.
  • If the selected primary language does not support multilanguage transcription, the option is automatically disabled in the UI to prevent unsupported configurations.

This behavior ensures system reliability and avoids silent transcription failures caused by incompatible language combinations.

Example Behavior

Primary Language: Norwegian

  • Supports single language transcription only
  • Multilanguage transcription is disabled
  • Additional language options do not appear

Primary Language: English

  • Supports multilanguage transcription
  • Additional supported languages can be selected and automatically detected during the session

Why This Matters

This design approach:

  • Prevents invalid transcription requests by disabling unsupported settings
  • Makes system constraints clear and predictable to users
  • Ensures transcription quality and consistency across all supported languages
  • Aligns UI behavior with backend capabilities, avoiding confusion or unexpected transcription results
