{"slug": "real-time-ai-simplification-a2-b1-b2-of-bbc-world-news-live", "title": "Real-Time AI Simplification (A2, B1, B2) of BBC World News Live", "summary": "A product called Restate re-speaks every sentence of live audio, including BBC World News broadcasts, at a listener-selected proficiency level (A2, B1, or B2) a few seconds behind the speaker with captions alongside, and allows the level to be switched mid-listen back to the original. Restate works in the browser first on podcasts, videos, lectures and conversations, with a phone app in development, and is English-only for now with more languages planned; the company states a patent is pending under PCT/IB2026/057029. A separate product, Interpret Cloud, handles live interpretation when the problem is another language entirely.", "body_md": "In short\n\nHow it works\n\nEvery sentence said again at your level, just a few seconds behind the speaker, with captions alongside. Switch the level mid-listen: easier, harder, or the original.\n\nWho it's for\n\nYou can hold a conversation, but so much of the language still sits above your level: the podcast everyone quotes, the series you watch with subtitles, the lecture that loses you by minute two, the appointment where the clerk talks like a form. Restate keeps you listening: same episode, same voices, simpler words and sentences.\n\nIf the problem is another language entirely, [Interpret Cloud](https://voicefrom.ai/interpret-cloud) is the live interpreter.\n\nLearners · Newcomers · Teachers · Creators · Schools\n\nWhere it works\n\nPodcasts, videos, lectures, and conversations: in the browser first, alongside whatever is playing. A phone app is on the way.\n\nStatus\n\nEnglish first, more languages on the way.
