The product
What Live Captions does.
This is a live-event tool first. Every decision is measured against latency, reliability during a long show, and legible captions on the screen the audience is actually watching.
Live translation
Transcribe once, translate into several languages. The audience picks the one they need.
Send captions anywhere
A fullscreen HDMI display, a QR code for phones, and a clean browser source for OBS or vMix.
Outputs
One session, five places your captions can reach.
Open the outputs you need before the doors. Each one reads the same caption feed and updates in realtime.
Operator screen
Setup, audio meter, language controls and the live caption in one calm view.
/sessionFullscreen HDMI
A dedicated second window for the projector. No chrome, adjustable type and safe area.
/displayAudience QR
Phones and tablets join from a short link. No app, no account, automatic reconnect.
/liveOBS and vMix
A transparent browser source at a fixed size, built for a switcher.
/obsNDI bridge
An optional local bridge for NDI output. The protocol is specified; the core app needs no install.

Your audio stays on your device.
Transcription runs locally in the browser. Microphone audio is not uploaded and is not stored. Only the finished text is saved to your account. If you turn on cloud translation, the text of stable caption units is sent to the translation provider and nothing else. You can delete a transcript at any time.
Browser support: WebGPU for the fastest local captions, with a WASM fallback. A modern desktop browser is recommended for the operator.
Pricing
Pay for the room, not for a seat licence.
Every plan includes local transcription. Cancel any time from the billing portal.

Questions
What people ask before the doors open.
Does my audio leave my device?
No. Transcription runs locally in the browser with a Whisper-family model. Microphone audio is not uploaded or stored. Only the finished transcript is saved to your account, and you can delete it.
What browser do I need?
A modern desktop browser. Chrome or Edge with WebGPU gives the fastest local captions. Without WebGPU the app falls back to a WASM engine on the same device. The audience viewer only needs a phone browser; it never downloads the transcription model.
How fast are the captions?
The engineering target is roughly one to two seconds to a useful partial caption and two to four seconds to a stable one on suitable modern hardware. The operator console measures the real latency on your machine and shows it, rather than promising a number.
How do phones follow along?
Each session generates a short audience link and QR code. Anyone on the same network or the internet opens it in a browser. They can choose an enabled translation language and adjust the text size. There is nothing to install.
Can I send captions to OBS or vMix?
Yes. Every session has a clean browser-source URL with a transparent background and no controls, sized for a switcher. Add it as a browser source and point it at the session.
Is NDI supported?
NDI is treated as an optional local bridge, not a browser promise. The bridge protocol is documented and the core app works without it. Adding the official NDI SDK locally is a separate step and is subject to NewTek licensing.
What happens if I stop paying?
You drop to the Trial plan. Your saved transcripts are not deleted. Exports and multi-language sessions need a paid plan, and you can upgrade again from the billing portal.
Can I buy for one event?
Yes. The Event pass is A$99 once and gives you Live Translate for 7 days. Nothing renews.
Do you keep the transcript?
The finished segments are stored with timestamps so you can export them after the event. Partial hypotheses are not stored long-term. You can delete a transcript from the dashboard, which removes its segments.
What does it cost?
Trial is free. Live is A$19 a month, Live Translate is A$49 a month and Agency is A$199 a month. Prices are in Australian dollars.
