Wordly Platform Features and Benefits

Live captioning is the process of displaying spoken content as text in real time. As the speaker talks, attendees can read along on screen, which helps with comprehension, accessibility, and multilingual communication.

Modern AI captioning technology makes it possible to generate captions quickly and accurately without relying on human captioners. These systems support multiple languages, scale across event types, and can be used for both live and on demand content.

Translation and Interpretation Options

There are three primary options for addressing the language barrier at meetings and events.

‍‍1. Do Nothing

The most common solution is to do nothing. While this is the cheapest and least time consuming option in the short term, there are significant long term costs when attendees are unable to understand meetings and do not attend or fully engage.

‍2. Use Human Translators

Human translators have been used for years and are a common option for meetings and events around the world. Human interpretation is a good option for large, complex events which are planned months in advance and supported by large budgets and teams to coordinate all of the logistics. But the time and cost of offering human interpretation often makes this option not viable for most organizations.

‍3. Use Live AI Translation and Captioning

A fast-growing option is AI translation. These tech solutions are powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and hosted in a secure cloud infrastructure, removing the need for human interpreters and special equipment. AI translation is being implemented across a wide range of government meetings.

How Wordly AI Translation & Captioning Works

Step 1
‍
The audio mixer from the meeting room is connected to a tablet or laptop which is used to log into the AI translation and captioning system. This helps ensure the AI system receives high quality sound input.

‍Step 2
‍The presenter(s) speak in their preferred languages during the meetings. The AI-powered translation system can manage participants speaking in multiple languages.

‍Step 3
‍The system uses AI technology to transcribe and translate the spoken content into the preferred languages for each participant. AI systems can process and translate speech simultaneously into dozens of languages.

The caption output is displayed in real time. The translation software is capable of understanding different dialects and accents, so you can feel confident that the translation will be accurate and understood by all attendees.

‍‍Step 4

Attendees can read along with captions or listen with their ear buds in their preferred language on their own computer or mobile device. Attendees access the translation and captions by scanning a QR code with their phone or visiting a URL from their computer.

Attendees can be either in person or attend virtually via Zoom, Teams, or another meeting platform. The captions can also be displayed in multiple languages on monitors positioned around the room so presenters and attendees can see them.
