Cognizen Live

Live captioning and translation for events. Everyone understands, in their own language.

Live Hungarian captions, translation into 60 languages, and the talk in the parallel room too, with a single QR code. On the phone, the projector, the LED wall. No app, no headsets, no interpreter booth. Our technician plugs it in, the attendee reads.

PROJECTOR · EN

MAIN HALLHU

Sample live captions: Jó reggelt, köszönöm, hogy ilyen sokan eljöttetek. Ma arról beszélek, hogyan változik a munka a következő években. Ha a B teremben ülsz, ezt most a telefonodon olvasod. Az első kérdés mindig ugyanaz: ki érti, amit mondunk? A válasz: mindenki, a saját nyelvén.

PHONE · HU

The same talk on two screens, in two languages.

Sound familiar?

  • The foreign speaker starts and the room goes quiet. A simultaneous interpreter is expensive, handing out headsets is slow, and half the Hungarian audience would rather skip the talk.

  • You have a hard-of-hearing attendee and no sign language interpreter. Or you have one, for one room, and the event has four.

  • You’re sitting in room A, and the talk you came for is in room B. Whichever you pick, you miss out.

What you get

AI translation for events, with captions in every room

Live captions in Hungarian

With a Hungarian speech model, the speakers’ names and the event’s terminology, which we agree on in advance. Missed something? Scroll back on your phone.

Translation into 60 languages

Hungarian and English in both directions, plus German, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, Romanian, Slovak, Ukrainian and many more. Attendees pick on their phones.

On the projector, LED wall, TV

We also put them on the stage projector, the LED wall or the hallway TVs, in large type, with good contrast.

Context, not a dictionary

The translation follows the whole conversation, so it understands abbreviations and copes with medical, legal and scientific talks.

Accessibility that isn’t an afterthought

Where there’s no sign language interpreter, this is the first step. Where there is one, it adds to it: captions can be read back, and they’re in every room.

Parallel sessions in one place

Attendees switch between rooms on their phones.

Spoken translation

Coming soon

A natural voice alongside the captions, in the attendee’s own headphones. You can already try it in the demo.

How it works

  1. Hook-up. XLR or USB-C into the sound system, twenty minutes before.

  2. Processing. In an EU data centre, with an agreed glossary.

  3. Access. QR code, pick a language, read. No app.

  4. Handover. Transcript and recap for you at the end of the day.

What it costs

Cheaper and more flexible than simultaneous interpreting.

The price depends on the number of rooms, days and languages, plus the on-site technician. No per-attendee fee, headset rental or booth building. We’ll work it out in twenty minutes.

Frequently asked questions about live captioning

Does AI interpreting replace a simultaneous interpreter?

At many events, yes: where the goal is for everyone to follow the talk, captions and machine translation are enough, and they’re in every room. For negotiations, diplomatic or legal settings, we recommend an interpreter, and the captions add to that. AI can make mistakes, which is why we agree the glossary in advance and why our technician is there.

How accurate are the live Hungarian captions?

We work with a Hungarian speech model and set up the speakers’ names and the event’s terminology in advance. Accuracy also depends on the audio quality and how fast people speak.

What audio equipment does it need?

A stable internet connection and an XLR or USB-C output on the mixing desk. Our technician does the hook-up, twenty minutes before the start.

Do attendees need to install an app?

No. The attendee scans the QR code, picks a language and reads in the browser.

Where is the audio processed?

In an ISO 27001-certified EU data centre, in line with the GDPR and the EU AI Act. We don’t train models on your event’s content, and the transcript is yours.
