Live captioning and translation for events
Make your event more accessible for everyone who wants to read along, follow along and take part.
With Soundshape, you give visitors live captioning and translation during conferences, trade shows, seminars, symposiums, company openings, exhibitions, panel discussions, lectures and other live events. Visitors can easily follow along on their own smartphone or tablet, on screens in the room or through your livestream.
This makes live communication easier to understand for deaf, hard-of-hearing and multilingual visitors, without a complex technical setup.
Let every visitor follow what is being said
During an event, everything happens live. Speakers change, visitors ask questions and information is often only shared once. For visitors who cannot hear, understand or follow everything clearly, that can mean missing important moments.
With Soundshape, you make your event more accessible. You give visitors the option to read along in real time, either in their own language or in the language of the event. This helps more people stay involved in what happens on stage, in the room or online.
Which events is Soundshape suitable for?
Soundshape is designed for live moments where clear communication matters. Think of:
conferences and congresses
trade shows and exhibitions
seminars and symposiums
company openings and product launches
award shows and ceremonies
panel discussions and lectures
public meetings and information sessions
internal events, town halls and kick-offs
hybrid events, webinars and livestreams
Whether you are organising a large conference, hosting an international trade show or making a company opening more accessible, Soundshape helps more visitors take part.
Live captioning during your event
Soundshape turns spoken words into live captions. Visitors can follow the text on their own smartphone or tablet by scanning a QR code. The captions can also be shown on screens in the room or added to a livestream.
This makes Soundshape suitable for events with an in-person audience, online participants or a combination of both.
Live translation for international visitors
Are you organising an event with international visitors, speakers or employees? Soundshape helps reduce language barriers.
Visitors can follow the translation in the language that is most accessible to them. This makes your event easier to understand for a broader audience, without having to set up a separate technical solution for every language.
Less dependent on interpreters
At many events, live translation or multilingual support is needed. Interpreters can play a valuable role, but they are not always available, practical or feasible for every programme item, language or room.
Soundshape helps you reduce your dependence on interpreters. With live captioning and translation, spoken content becomes directly accessible to visitors who want to read along or need translation. In some situations, this can be an alternative to an interpreter, or an addition to existing accessibility support.
This helps you make more sessions, rooms and programme items accessible, without having to arrange a separate interpreting solution for every part of your event.
