AI captioning is the process of taking audio and simultaneously converting it into text in real-time using AI speech to text transcription software. The advantage of live captioning is it can be used to enhance the user experience for meetings, conferences, training, and a wide range of other event types.
AI captioning should be offered in addition to audio so attendees have the option of selecting their preferred output - text, audio, or both. This provides the most flexibility for meeting participants and helps maximize attendee learning and engagement.
Wordly translation software provides real-time translation into dozens of languages through a SaaS based AI-powered platform which eliminates the need for human interpreters. Wordly provides provides both live AI captioning and subtitling, enabling attendees to read along in the language of their choice. The output is a high-quality live transcript available in both audio and text format. AI captioning comes standard with Wordly - there is no additional charge.
Presenters speak in their preferred language and participants can follow along using their computer, tablet, or smartphone at both in-person and virtual events.
Wordly can also generate transcript files which you can use to add captions and subtitles to videos and on-demand content.
Both meeting organizers and attendees have a wide range of options to tailor the captioning experience to meet their needs.
Let attendees access captions on their phone, tablet, or computer by scanning a QR code or clicking a link. They do not need to download anything or create an account.
You can also display captions on large monitors placed on the stage and around the room - as well as in an overlay on the presentation screen.
Wordly Display Mode provides a wide range of customization options. Some of the features are listed below. To learn more about these and other features, schedule a demo:
