Every word on screen, in the language each learner reads
Live captions run continuously while the trainer teaches. A learner can read the original language for accessibility or switch to translated captions — each person, independently, from the same menu.
Three steps, no setup per learner
- 1
Turn captions on
One click in the Captions menu. Captions render as the trainer speaks and refine as each sentence completes.
- 2
Pick the language you read
Same-language captions of the original, or translated captions in any shipped language.
- 3
Keep the speaker in view
Captions sit over the stage with the speaker’s name, so a class with several presenters stays easy to follow.
What you get
Same-language captions
Read exactly what is being said — the accessibility baseline for every participant, in every meeting and webinar.
Translated captions
Captions in any of the 19 shipped languages, with common technical terms kept in English.
Speaker attribution
Each caption line carries the name of the person speaking, so multi-presenter sessions read like a transcript.
Low-latency lines
Interim captions appear immediately and settle as the sentence completes — the way live captioning should feel.
Per-person choice
In meetings captions are a viewer setting; in webinars the host turns same-language captions on for everyone, and each attendee still picks their own translated language.
Respects encryption
End-to-end encrypted meetings have no server-readable audio, so captions are not available inside them — by design.
Captions are the baseline, translation is the upgrade.
Same-language captions help learners with hearing loss, noisy rooms, second-language listeners and anyone who retains more by reading. Translated captions build on the same stream, so turning on translation never removes the accessibility baseline for the rest of the class.
Captions are generated from the live audio on our hosted service and delivered to the participants who asked for them; they are not stored as audio. End-to-end encrypted meetings exclude captions because the server cannot read their audio.

Live captions — questions
Are captions on for everyone once the host enables them?
In a meeting, captions are a per-person choice: each participant turns them on and picks the language they read. In a webinar, the host switches same-language captions on for the whole audience, and each attendee can still choose a translated language for themselves.
Can I get a transcript afterwards?
Recorded sessions can be transcribed and summarised from the recording; live captions themselves are for the live session.
