Live captions for conferences, on the screen and in every pocket
Two language problems at once: what goes on the screen in the room, and what each person sitting in it understands. One machine at the production desk solves both.

The problem in a plenary room
- Booths, bodypacks and receivers are quoted per language per day, and somebody collects them every evening.
- Each new language is two interpreters, because they need relief. The third is almost never approved.
- Breakout rooms get no interpretation, because the budget went to the plenary.
- Anyone hard of hearing gets nothing: interpretation solves language, not access.
How it joins your production
Room audio comes in on the card
The same feed you already send to record. One, two or four microphones by plan.
It leaves as NDI with a real alpha channel
Your switcher composites it over programme as one more input.
Or HDMI, or a URL in a browser
For when the venue screen is not behind a switcher.
The audience scans a QR code
They pick their language on their own phone. Nothing to install.
The running order is written weeks ahead
Questions and votes in blocks, from a link, with no account.

Text, audio, or both
The phone can read the translation aloud.
No per-attendee or per-language charge

What you get afterwards
AI minutes
Decisions, action items with an owner and a due date, and figures with the real time.
The full transcript
Plain text with each line’s wall-clock time, plus SRT or VTT for the video.
An audience report
How many devices followed each session and in which languages.
Where it shows
It goes in programme, not beside it
An NDI source with a real alpha channel, composited over the picture. You still get the screen on a TV if you want one.
It fails clean, never frozen
If the connection drops, the audience output fades to transparent.
The audience asks and votes from their phones
The question goes up on the venue screen when the moderator launches it.
Room codes are reservable in advance
Up to ninety days, so it can be printed in the programme.
Event Pro
Translation into 58 languages and two microphones, which is the ordinary shape of a panel or an interview. Broadcast Multi-Mic when four people speak at once.
Frequently asked questions
Does it replace a human interpreter?
At most conferences, yes, at a fraction of the cost. In a legal or diplomatic negotiation where nuance carries consequences, no. Mostly it replaces the interpretation nobody budgets for today, which is most languages at most events.
How many people can follow at once?
Up to a thousand phones per room. We measured five thousand at once against the deployed system with no refused connections, but above a thousand latency starts approaching our own quality target, so a thousand is the figure we stand behind. The real limit at a conference is usually the venue Wi-Fi, not us.
What if the connection drops mid-talk?
The audience output fades to transparent. Never a stale caption frozen on the big screen, never an error message.
Does it work across breakout rooms?
Yes. Subscription plans have no cap on simultaneous events, so each room runs its own session and its own code.
