Introduction to in-room captions
How to produce live in-room captions
Timbra in-room is a new way to bring live captions directly into the room. Using a low latency version of Timbra with a transcript widget, you’ll be able to display real-time translated transcripts that keep attendees engaged, whether they’re hard of hearing, in a noisy space, or following along in a second language.
Supporting 50+ source languages and simultaneous translation into 250 languages, it features termbases, custom dictionaries, formality settings, and full control over visibility.
