Reach more viewers with AI-powered live captions, translation, and dubbing

Your live audience can be global, your live stream should be too.

Brightcove’s Live Captions and Live Universal Translator, available through the Brightcove AI Suite, bring real-time captions, translation, and dubbed audio to live events.

That means you can make a live stream more accessible and multilingual without producing separate versions of the event.

And the value doesn’t stop when the event ends. Captions, translations, and dubbed audio carry over to the on-demand version, so your content can keep reaching audiences long after the live stream.

Make live content easier to follow

Live Captions turn spoken audio into captions in real time, making live content easier to follow when viewers are watching without sound, in noisy environments, or rely on captions to access the content.

Live Universal Translator goes further, translating captions and generating dubbed audio in additional languages.

Together, they give viewers more ways to experience the same live event, while keeping your production workflow in one place.

One stream, more audiences

Live localization has traditionally added another layer to event production: separate captioning workflows, translation providers, audio tracks, or streams for different languages.

With Brightcove, those capabilities can be built directly into the live experience.

That opens up more possibilities for different types of organizations:

• Sports organizations can bring matches, interviews, and press conferences to international fans.
• Media companies can extend live coverage beyond a single language market.
• Enterprises can make town halls, product launches, training, and leadership communications more accessible to global teams.

Make live content more accessible

Accessibility shouldn’t start after the event. Live Captions make captions part of the live experience, helping people who are deaf or hard of hearing, watching without sound, or in environments where audio is difficult to hear follow along in real time.

By building captions directly into the live workflow, you can make accessibility part of the experience from the moment an event begins.

Keep the value going after the event

The content you create for a live event doesn’t have to stop working when the stream ends.

Captions, translations, and dubbed audio generated during the event carry over to the on-demand version. That means your VOD content is ready for more audiences without starting the localization process again.

A live announcement can reach employees who missed the event. A press conference can be replayed by audiences in different languages. A sports interview can continue reaching international fans long after the final whistle.
