Speaksee

What is Speaksee?

Speaksee is an AI solution for real-time speech-to-text, with the option to translate live as well. This makes spoken content immediately readable during meetings, conferences, lectures, or events. In practice, this can be implemented via the Soundshape 1 Pro: a plug-and-play solution for live captions and translation.

Accurate interpretation

Real-time captioning requires reliable transcription, so participants can follow the content without disrupting the flow of the program. The current proposition works with over 95% accuracy, so captions remain clear and easy to follow in live settings.

Accessible via smartphone and on-site screens

Captions and translations can be made available live on personal devices (such as smartphones) and/or on screens at the venue. This can also be offered via a QR code, allowing participants to join easily without extra barriers. This makes it possible to tailor the setup per location, depending on audience flow, visibility, and the desired type of support.

More than 100 languages

Speaksee supports multilingual use, making captioning and translation more accessible for international participants. The current setup supports 100+ languages, making the system suitable for international audiences and multilingual programs.

Accessibility as the standard

Real-time captions and translation help make communication and information accessible to more audiences, including deaf and hard-of-hearing participants and international attendees. This makes accessibility not an extra feature, but a natural part of the event or meeting setup.

Typical use cases for real-time captions and translation

Speaksee can be relevant in environments where spoken content is central, such as:

• Conferences and events with international participants
• Lectures and sessions in educational or knowledge-focused environments
• Meetings where inclusion for deaf and hard-of-hearing participants is important
• Plenary programs with projection/LED and live content

Key considerations when selecting and setting up

To ensure smooth operation in practice, these are the key high-level considerations:

• Audience and setting: individual display (smartphone) and/or shared display (screens)
• Language needs: number of languages and desired translation directions
• Audio source and intelligibility: microphone and mix quality are crucial for transcription
• Direction and workflow: when captions/translation are shown and how this fits the rundown
• Privacy and agreements: policies on visibility, storage, and reuse of transcripts where relevant

Why Heuvelman

The difference lies in practical deployment within a production environment: alignment with the audio chain (microphones and mix), choosing between smartphone display and on-screen display (for example via QR), and integrating everything with direction and on-site content. This ensures accessibility is not added as a separate layer, but becomes part of the overall audiovisual setup.
