Make every event easier to follow
Live Captions and Translation in 100+ Languages
Soundshape helps you make live communication more accessible, understandable and inclusive with real-time captions and translation for events, conferences, meetings, theatres and livestreams.
With support for 142 language and dialect variants, Soundshape gives every visitor a clearer way to follow what is being said — in the room, online, or on their own device.
Real-time language access for every audience
Today’s audiences are international, diverse and digitally connected. Some visitors are deaf or hard of hearing. Some speak another first language. Some prefer to read along. Others join remotely from another country.
Soundshape helps organizers include more people without adding complexity to the event experience.
Visitors can follow spoken content through live captions and translations on:
Their own smartphone or tablet via QR code
In-room presentation screens
Full-screen caption displays
Livestreams and online event environments
The technology works in the background, so the focus stays where it belongs: on the speaker, the content and the audience.

Make accessibility part of the event experience
Accessibility should not feel like a separate layer. It should feel like a natural part of a well-organized event.
With Soundshape, visitors get another way to follow the conversation. Organizers get a practical solution that fits into existing event and AV workflows. And more people get the opportunity to take part.
Because when people can follow what is being said, they can be part of what happens next.
