Industry Challenge

Live events still leave people behind.

Traditional live event environments create significant friction when addressing accessibility compliance and international language support.

1

Accessibility Gaps

Deaf and hard-of-hearing attendees rely on accurate, real-time captioning that is frequently omitted due to production complexity.

2

Language Fragmentation

Multilingual attendees struggle to follow fast-paced keynotes when real-time translation is unavailable or cost-prohibitive.

3

Network Vulnerability

Cloud-dependent transcription tools introduce an uncontrollable point of failure on congested conference Wi-Fi networks.

4

Workflow Friction

AV engineers need software that integrates natively into standard video switchers rather than cumbersome standalone workarounds.

The Old Model
  • ✕ Cloud connection mandatory
  • ✕ Venue internet failure stops service
  • ✕ Costly human translation booths
  • ✕ Complex standalone hardware
  • ✕ Accessibility treated as an afterthought
  • ✕ Privacy and transcription data exposed
ConferenceCaptioning
  • ✓ 100% On-device local AI processing
  • ✓ Full offline event capability
  • ✓ 25+ simultaneous translation channels
  • ✓ Direct integration into broadcast AV stacks
  • ✓ Accessibility built directly into production
  • ✓ Strict data privacy & zero cloud leakage
Architecture & Engineering

AI that runs where the event happens.

ConferenceCaptioning processes live speech directly on the host machine. By executing optimized transcription and translation models locally, latency drops to near-instantaneous levels while eliminating dependency on venue bandwidth.

Enterprise Reliability

When the internet goes down, the captions don't have to.

Production teams cannot gamble on venue internet stability. Because ConferenceCaptioning runs neural models locally, your event remains completely protected from outside connectivity drops.

Multi-System Automatic Failover

A primary and backup Mac operate on the same local network. If the primary host fails or drops audio, the backup system automatically assumes real-time output, complete with configurable retry intervals and alerts.

✓ Designed for the realities of live mission-critical production.

Why now?

01

Rising Accessibility Expectations

Regulatory frameworks and societal expectations have made accessibility non-negotiable for enterprise and international events.

02

Global, Distributed Audiences

Conferences are more international than ever. Simultaneous multilingual communication is rapidly becoming a standard requirement.

03

On-Device Silicon Maturity

Modern hardware silicon now enables powerful neural speech processing locally without relying on fragile cloud APIs.

“Every voice heard.
Every audience included.”

Our vision is to make real-time accessibility and multilingual communication a standard foundational element of live production — rather than an expensive, specialized service bolted on after the event is designed.
