Live captions in any language
InterScribe delivers real-time AI captions and multilingual translation to every attendee's device - no expensive equipment, no apps, no complexity.
What is live captioning?
Live captioning converts spoken words into text in real time - displayed on screens or personal devices as the speaker talks. It ensures deaf and hard-of-hearing attendees can follow along, and makes content accessible to non-native speakers.
InterScribe takes this further: our AI not only captions in the speaker's language, but simultaneously translates into 100+ languages - so every attendee follows in their native tongue, on their own device.

Live captioning FAQs
What is live captioning?

How does InterScribe live captioning work?
Audio from a speaker's microphone is captured, transcribed using AI, then translated and displayed on attendee devices - all within under one second. Attendees access captions via a simple QR code or link - no app install needed.
Is it accurate for live speech?
Yes. InterScribe uses state-of-the-art AI speech recognition models, continuously optimized for live, unscripted speech. Accuracy is comparable to professional human captioners for most languages.
Can it caption multiple speakers?
Yes. InterScribe handles panel discussions, Q&A sessions, and multi-speaker formats. The system adjusts dynamically as speakers change.
What's the difference between captions and subtitles?
