Welcome on Board!
I am Andreas Pechhacker, founder of Sprachpilot. Since 2021, I have been helping organizations, universities, businesses, and public institutions ensure that their message reaches every single person. My focus is on accessible communication, live captioning, speech-to-text interpreting (CART), and specialized multilingual translation.
Why the name "Sprachpilot" (Language Pilot)?
A pilot takes responsibility, keeps an overview from above, and guides passengers safely to their destination through any weather. That is exactly my promise as your language and accessibility provider.
In communication, turbulences are common: technical jargon, language barriers, complex legal matters, or accessibility challenges. As your Sprachpilot, I navigate you smoothly through these complexities with calmness, precision, and technical foresight – ensuring your message lands pinpoint-accurately with every audience.
