About Live Captions

Live Captions is an AI-driven real-time captioning platform designed to make meetings, conferences, and live events accessible to everyone, including those who are deaf or hard of hearing. The service automatically generates captions and interactive transcripts that sync with your audio or video stream, eliminating manual transcription work and reducing accessibility barriers across your organization. The platform excels in ease of use, requiring no coding knowledge to get started. Users can schedule events, customize caption widgets to match their branding, and embed them into websites or streaming setups within minutes. The system processes captions in real-time alongside RTMP streams and also handles pre-recorded media, making it versatile for both live and on-demand content needs. Language support spans approximately 140 languages and dialects, including English, German, French, Spanish, and many others, allowing you to serve global audiences without language constraints. For teams needing advanced automation, Live Captions provides a programmatic API that enables integration into custom workflows and third-party applications. Beyond accessibility compliance, the platform improves content engagement through interactive transcripts that viewers can reference, search, and follow along with. This makes your content more discoverable, searchable, and valuable to audiences who prefer reading captions or need them for various reasons.
