Celebrating AI Appreciation Day by exploring the impact of live AI translation and captions with Wordly
Language barriers have existed for centuries, limiting access to information, participation, and opportunity. From local government meetings to global conferences, from religious services to workforce training, the inability to understand or be understood has kept too many people on the sidelines. Artificial Intelligence is changing that.
At Wordly, we’re celebrating how live AI translation and captioning is transforming communication – not just on AI Appreciation Day, but every day. Artificial Intelligence is helping organizations across industries connect with more people, more effectively, and in more languages than ever before.
More than 68 million people in the U.S. speak a language other than English at home. For decades, that language gap has made it harder to engage in civic life, succeed at work, or access essential services. But real-time AI translation is shifting that reality.
Since 2017, Wordly has provided live translation for over 4 million users across 3,000 language pairs. Our platform offers businesses, governments agencies, schools, nonprofits, and faith-based organizations a fast, affordable, and inclusive way to communicate at scale.
“AI translation is more than just a tool, it’s a turning point,” said Wordly Founder & CEO, Lakshman Rathnam. “We built Wordly to solve the real problem of people being left out of important conversations because of language. Now, with AI, everyone has a voice.”
Across industries, organizations are using AI translation and captions to increase reach, participation, and impact:
In each case, Wordly is doing what once required costly simultaneous interpretation setups – making language access faster, more scalable, and more inclusive.
When Wordly launched, live translation was often literal, delayed, and reliant on special equipment. Today, our translation app offers instant, accurate translation for any audience size, with features designed for simplicity and scale.
Recent innovations include:
As organizations face growing demand for accessibility and tighter budgets, live AI translation and captions are becoming a critical part of how they engage employees, customers, and communities.
