Venue Live: Captioning, transcription & translation for live events

Live event captioning converts spoken words from live events – such as concerts, sports, and conferences – into real‑time text displayed on screens or devices so audiences can follow along instantly. Verbit’s live event solution, Venue Live, offers live captions, live translation, live transcription, and other helpful tools to improve attendee engagement, accessibility for individuals with disabilities, and content localization efforts.

Yes – Venue Live supports live translation in 30 languages alongside captions and transcription, enabling multilingual audiences to access event content in their preferred language in real time.

Venue Live uses Verbit’s proprietary ASR engine, Captivate™, with industry‑trained models and customizable vocabularies that users can leverage or add to in order to deliver high real‑time accuracy even in noisy or fast‑paced live environments with multiple speakers. Verbit targets 99% accuracy levels and offers options for human review or full human transcription based on your needs.

Real‑time captions, transcripts, and live translations support accessibility initiatives such as the need to reach Section 508 and ADA compliance (Americans with Disabilities Act) – which has greater Title II requirements as of April 2026. Venue Live’s live event captioning technology also promotes inclusive communication standards for live audiences with disabilities, and others who simply grasp information better when presented with captions and transcripts as additional visual cues. Accessible live events are no longer a “nice-to-have,” but a must for compliance in many scenarios.
