Announcements, the floor and discussion

Everyone reads, and can hear, everything in their own language: the organizer's announcements, what a listener says when given the floor, and what people write to each other in a group. Each message is translated by AI into the languages of the people reading it, and anyone can tap Listen to hear it read aloud.

All of this is part of Pro (and Max and Enterprise). On Basic the card shows a link to the plans instead.

AnnouncementsAsk

On the event page, the Announcements and discussion card has a box to Write an announcement to every listener. Write in the language you speak, or record it with the microphone, and send. Every listener sees it above the player, under From the organizer, in the language they listen in.

Use it for practical notices: "The bus leaves from gate B at 14:00", "Lunch is in hall 2", "Fire drill in ten minutes". The speaker can also make announcements from the speaker screen.

Giving listeners the floorAsk

Turn on Give listeners the floor in the same card. Then:

• Listeners can ask for the floor (on by default): a listener presses Ask for the floor, types a name and their languages, and their hand is raised. Raised hands appear in the card and on the speaker screen.
• You can also give the floor without anyone asking: everyone who has joined is listed (under "other listeners present"), each with Give the floor. Turn Listeners can ask for the floor off if you want to choose speakers yourself only.
• Press Give the floor. The listener sees "You have the floor" and can speak (push the microphone, speak, push again) or write, as you allow (By speaking, By writing). What they say is turned into text, translated, and reaches every listener in their language, and you read it in yours.
• Take back ends their turn. Lower lowers a hand without giving the floor.

In the hall, people hear the listener's own voice live if a microphone reaches them; everyone else reads or hears the translation.

Discussion groups at an eventAsk

Under Discussion groups, type a name (for example "Table 3") and press Add group. Listeners see the groups on the listener page; tapping one opens it full screen. They join with a name, the language they speak and the language they read and hear, and then write or speak to each other, each in their own language.

Open shows the group to you, with its members; you can post in it, delete messages and remove members. Close stops it; Open again reopens it.

Standing roomsAsk

A room is a conversation that lasts beyond one event: a site crew, a volunteer team, a parents' group. In the dashboard, open Rooms, type a name and press Create room. Choose Moderated if only people you give the floor to may post.

• Copy link gives the room's join link. Anyone with it can join, so share it only with the people the room is for.
• Members join on their phone with a name and their two languages, and their phone remembers them.
• Open shows the room with its members, for posting and moderation.
• Messages are kept 30 days.

ModerationAsk

On anything you run, you can delete a message (it disappears from everyone's screen within seconds), remove a member (they can no longer post or read a room), and close the conversation.

PrivacyAsk

• Participants are anonymous to Spiiksi: they type a name, and their phone holds a key to their place. Others see the name and what they post.
• Spoken messages are turned into text; the recording isn't kept.
• An event's announcements, floor turns and groups are deleted when you close them. A room keeps its messages for 30 days.
• Messages are sent to OpenAI to translate, transcribe and read them aloud, as the interpretation is. See Privacy, recordings and security.
