Live captioning, also known as live translation, is the process of taking audio and simultaneously converting it into text in real-time. 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.
Live captioning is best when offered as an addition to audio so the attendee has the option of selecting audio only, live captions only, or both. This provides the most flexibility for meeting participants and helps maximize attendee learning and engagement.
An example of live captioning is shown below in English, Spanish, and Japanese.
Wordly translation software provides real-time translation into 30+ languages through a SaaS based AI-powered platform which eliminates the need for human interpreters.

The output is a high-quality translation available in both audio and text format. Live 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; in-person or remote.
