User Guide: Sanas Accent Translation

Introduction

Welcome to the Sanas Accent Translation user guide! This guide will help you set up and use the Sanas app to enhance your calling experience through real-time accent translation.

New to Sanas? We recommend reviewing our Sanas app overview guide to familiarize yourself with the interface before proceeding.

Before you begin

✅ Sanas app installed on your computer

• Windows: Search "Sanas" in the Start menu

• macOS: Search "Sanas" in Applications

• Can't find it? Contact your IT team for installation assistance

✅ Domain connection - Your computer must be connected to your organization's domain, and you must be logged into your user profile (required for auto-activation).

✅ Stable internet connection

Step 1: Activate the Sanas App

App activation links the app usage license to your user profile, enabling Sanas to apply your team's configured settings.

Launch the App

Open the Sanas app on your computer. You'll see one of two activation methods:

Method 1: Auto-Activation

If configured by your admin, the app will activate automatically when you launch it.

Troubleshooting: If auto-activation fails:

1. Ensure you're connected to your organization's domain

2. Verify you're logged into your user profile

3. Close and relaunch the Sanas app

Method 2: User Activation Key (UAK)

If auto-activation isn't available, you'll need credentials from your supervisor:

Required Information:

• Workspace ID

• User ID

Steps:

1. Enter your Workspace ID and User ID in the respective fields

2. Click Activate Key.

   

Handling Session Conflicts

If you see an "existing user session" warning, it means the Sanas app is already active with your credentials on another device or session. This warning appears to prevent license conflicts.

Warning message: Existing user session identified

Common Scenarios:

• Shared licenses: Your organization shares Sanas licenses among team members. The warning displays the machine serial number to help identify which device is currently using the license.

• Multiple device usage: You previously used Sanas on another computer but didn't properly close the session before switching machines.

Action: Click Continue to end the previous session (ensure no active calls are running on the other device first).

Step 2: Configure Audio Settings on the Sanas App

Choose the instructions for your app version:

App Version 4.X and Above

Older app versions

Your app home screen shows different options based on your admin's configuration:

1. Turn ON the Accent Translation toggle.

2. Select your voice: Masculine or Feminine.

3. Verify audio input: Ensure your connected headset is selected.
