Wordly is the pioneer and leader in live AI translation and captions for in-person, virtual, and hybrid meetings and events. Attendees get translated audio, captions, and subtitles in dozens of languages on their own devices or on room displays, and organizers get transcripts and AI summaries after each session.
Wordly was founded in 2017, launched publicly in 2019, and is headquartered in Los Altos, California.
Lakshman Rathnam is Wordly’s founder and CEO. The leadership team includes Jim Firby, CTO; Kirk Hendrickson, COO; and Dave Deasy, CMO.
More than 6,000 organizations and 8 million users in over 120 countries use Wordly, across corporate, nonprofit, education, government, and faith-based organizations. Wordly has delivered more than 1 billion minutes of live translation and captions.
Wordly ranked No. 521 on the 2026 Inc. 5000, climbing 1,186 places from the year before, and No. 52 among the fastest-growing U.S. software companies.
In fall 2026, Wordly launched Sponsor Logos, which lets event organizers sell sponsor placement inside the live translation and caption experience, and Silent Theater, which lets attendees in breakout rooms and expo spaces listen on their own phones and headphones instead of rented headsets. Wordly also launched Caption Bridge for government broadcasts and introduced Audience Engagement, which adds reactions, highlights, and notes to the live caption stream and gives organizers a dashboard of sentiment and top moments.
