Live Captions & Events

You speak once. The room reads along.

If the room doesn't all speak one language, this is for you.

Four rooms, four ways of showing the same captions — phones, projector, stream, or all three.

Keynotes & panels

Conferences & webinars

The audience is multilingual, and hiring interpreters for every language is not on the budget.

Lectures & seminars

Schools & universities

Students follow in the language they read fastest, and the transcript is there afterwards.

Services & ceremonies

Congregations & communities

Captions go up on the projector, and the vocabulary of your tradition has to come out right.

Broadcasts & hybrid

Producers & streamers

You already run OBS or vMix, and you want captions as a layer you control, not a surprise.

Nine reasons this beats renting interpreters.

Not a feature list — the things that decide whether the back of the room follows the talk.

Three places to show it, at once

  • On every phone in the roomA QR code or link; each attendee reads on their own device, in their own language.
  • On the projectorA floating caption window you drag to a second screen — dark, light or transparent.
  • Inside your streamA browser source with a transparent background for OBS, vMix or ProPresenter.
  • All three togetherOne session driving all of them, not three set-ups to keep in sync.

The original, plus five more

  • Five translations, 95+ to pickThe speaker's original is always there; add up to five audience languages.
  • Or no translation at allRun clean original-language captions when the need is accessibility only.
  • Auto-detect with hintsFor a speaker who code-mixes, set the source to work it out live.
  • Each reader choosesEvery attendee picks from that list — you are not choosing for the room.

It arrives knowing your words

  • Your workspace glossaryApplies automatically, every event, without loading it again.
  • Fourteen built-in setsChurch, education, medical, legal, finance, government and more.
  • Universal or per languageA term can hold its spelling everywhere, or change for one audience.
  • Background packsAttach the agenda, the programme or the speaker's notes as context.

You pay for the microphone

  • Billing follows recordingOne minute of recording is one minute deducted. Pauses are free.
  • Pause and resumeThe event and its captions stay open across a break between sessions.
  • Five free minutesRehearse with the actual microphone, in the actual room, before you commit.
  • A long lunch costs nothingNothing is charged for the hours the room is standing empty.

Every reader sets their own view

  • Their own settingsLanguage, text size, light or dark, timestamps on or off — each viewer decides.
  • Transcript or caption modeRead back over everything, or follow only the last lines as they land.
  • One language or bothOriginal only, translation only, or the pair stacked together.
  • Late arrivals catch upSomeone who joins halfway can scroll back through everything already said.

The event outlives the room

  • The caption filesDownload the merged SRT, or the original and translated tracks separately.
  • Saved automaticallyCaptions stay readable after the event has been archived.
  • The audio is keptPlay it, download it, or turn the whole event into a project.
  • And that projectGives you the clean transcript, the summary, and subtitle files.

Tell it what kind of room this is

  • Five registers, or your ownBusiness meeting, medical, technical, lecture, casual — or write the brief.
  • It moves both promptsHow the original is written down, and how the translation is phrased.
  • Pair it with contextA background pack — the agenda, the programme, the speaker's notes.
  • Change it mid-eventWhen the afternoon session is nothing like the morning one.

Accurate originals, or fast ones

  • Accurate Original CaptionsThe speaker's words land sharper; translations arrive a beat behind.
  • Fast Translated CaptionsThe translation arrives sooner; the original reads a little rougher.
  • Switch mid-sessionWithout ending the event or losing what is already on screen.
  • Accessibility-first roomsRun originals only and take the sharpest track available.

Nothing is locked once it starts

  • Add a language mid-talkCapture reconnects in a couple of seconds; nobody has to rejoin.
  • Fix a term as you hear itDrop new words into the glossary the moment one comes out wrong.
  • Pause for the breakResume afterwards — the links the room is holding still work.
  • The screen stays putCaptions already showing stay where they are while you change settings.

And the rest of it.

None of these win the room on their own, but the one you need is the one that would have ruined the event.

Questions people askbefore they caption a live room

The speaker's original is always available, plus up to five translation languages chosen from 95+. You can also turn translation off entirely and run original-language captions only.

Three places, at the same time if you want: the audience's own phones through a QR code or link, a floating caption window you can drag onto a projector or second screen, and a browser-source link for OBS, vMix or ProPresenter with a transparent background.

Set the source to auto-detect and add hints for the languages you expect. You can also change languages and prompts mid-event — saving reconnects capture, which interrupts captions briefly.

Your workspace glossary applies automatically. On top of that, pick a use case (business, medical, technical, lecture, casual), add glossary lists or a background pack, or switch on a built-in set — church, education, medical, legal, finance, government and more.

Only while you are recording. One minute of recording is one minute deducted, and pauses cost nothing. The first five minutes are a free trial.

It is not a human interpreter, and it will not fix a bad room — a distant microphone in a hall with hard walls is the one thing that reliably breaks live captions. Do a five-minute trial with the actual microphone before the actual event.
