What is Real-Time Translation?
Real-time translation is the process of translating speech or text from one language into another instantly, with minimal delay. It lets people who speak different languages follow the same meeting, presentation, or event as it happens. Real-time translation is used for industry conferences, company meetings, webinars, live events, and customer support, and it is a practical way to remove language barriers and support cross-cultural communication.
How Wordly Real-Time Translation Works
Wordly provides real-time translation and captions for meetings and events, so everyone can follow along in the language they prefer. Presenters speak in their own language, and each attendee reads captions or listens to translated audio on their own device. From one platform, Wordly delivers translated audio, live captions, subtitles, transcripts, and summaries across every format, including in-person, virtual, webinar, hybrid, and on-demand video.

What Wordly Real-Time Translation Delivers
Wordly does more than translate the real-time conversation. It supports every step of your content lifecycle: pre-event planning, the live stage, and post-event content creation.
Before the event, organizers set up a session in minutes and can build custom glossaries so names, acronyms, and industry terms come through correctly. During the event, presenters speak in their own language while each attendee reads live captions or listens to translated audio in the language they choose, on their phone or computer. After the event, the same session becomes transcripts and summaries, and you can add captions or subtitles to on-demand video, so your content stays accessible in dozens of languages long after the room clears.

Teams rely on Wordly for industry conferences, association events, customer webinars, corporate town halls, sales kickoff meetings, city council meetings, and church services. Wordly works on its own or alongside the platforms you already use, including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Google Meet, and Cvent.
Frequently Asked Questions About Real-Time Translation
What is Wordly real-time translation?
Wordly real-time translation is a live AI translation capability that converts what a speaker says into another language as they speak, so multilingual audiences can follow a meeting or event as it happens. The presenter speaks in their own language, and each attendee selects the language they want and either reads live captions or listens to translated audio on their own device. Wordly works in dozens of languages, supports two-way conversations, and runs on its own or alongside the platforms you already use, including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Cvent.
How many attendees can join a real-time translation session?
Wordly scales from a small staff meeting to a large conference, and a single session can support tens of thousands of attendees at once. Because everything runs in a secure cloud and each attendee follows along on their own device, adding people does not require extra hardware or setup. The same session works whether you are translating for a handful of colleagues or a keynote hall of thousands.
Is real-time translation available on demand, or do we have to plan far in advance?
Wordly is available on demand, so you are not tied to long lead times or fixed scheduling. Organizers can set up a session in the portal in minutes and have instant access to every supported language whenever they need it, which works for recurring meetings and last-minute additions as well as events planned months out. Presenters open a link to start speaking, and attendees join the moment the session goes live.
Can real-time captions help us meet accessibility and language access requirements?
Real-time captions are a practical way to make meetings and events more accessible, both for attendees who prefer another language and for those who are deaf or hard of hearing. Alongside translation, Wordly offers same-language captioning, and a VPAT is available on request. Wordly supports major language access requirements, including ADA and WCAG, California SB 707, the European Accessibility Act, and Bill 96, so real-time captions can be part of how your organization meets them.
