DeepL acquired Mixhalo on May 14, 2024, integrating the latter's real-time audio streaming and translation technology into its own offerings. This acquisition marks DeepL's strategic expansion into the live events sector, aiming to enhance the accessibility of audio content for global audiences. Mixhalo's platform enables event organizers to deliver high-quality, multi-language audio streams directly to attendees' smartphones, a capability DeepL intends to leverage for its translation services. The company also announced the establishment of a new office in San Francisco, signaling a significant investment in its U.S. market presence and operations.
