Wordly Surpasses $200 Million in Customer Savings with Live AI Translation & Captioning

AI-powered solution delivers 50%+ cost savings versus human interpreters across 120 countries

AI offers many benefits — increased productivity, faster time to market, and significant cost reduction. But while the promise of AI savings is widely discussed, actually measuring them has proven difficult for most organizations. Wordly is changing that.

Since launching in 2019, Wordly's live AI translation and captioning platform has delivered over $200,000,000 in savings to customers worldwide — a milestone reached by powering more than 1 billion minutes of live AI translation and captions (equivalent to 16.6 million hours) across 300,000+ sessions for 6 million users in 120 countries.

The High Cost of Human Interpretation — and the AI Alternative

Traditional interpretation is expensive by design. Hiring human interpreters requires a minimum of two interpreters per language — and costs compound fast. For an event supporting 6 languages, that's 12 interpreters before a single word is spoken. According to a recent survey, 40% of meeting and event planners report attendees speaking 6 or more non-English languages — making multilingual support a widespread and costly challenge.

Wordly replaces that model with a single flat hourly fee, supporting dozens of languages simultaneously. Whether an event needs 1 language or 30, the economics stay predictable. Customers consistently report savings of 50% or more compared to equivalent human interpreter costs — and that figure only accounts for interpreter fees. AI also eliminates the logistical burden of scheduling, coordinating, and managing interpreters, delivering additional time and cost savings that are harder to quantify but no less real.

A Market Ripe for Transformation

The global interpretation market is valued at $15.8 billion in 2026, according to Business Research Insights. If organizations across that market achieved even a fraction of the savings Wordly customers have realized, the potential impact runs into the billions of dollars annually.

Wordly's customers span the full spectrum — multinational corporations, nonprofits, schools, government agencies, and religious organizations. Whatever the size or mission, the switch to AI interpretation delivers outsized savings.
