Live captions, translations and voice dubbing for live streams
Send one feed to StreamShark and it can come out captioned as the words are spoken, translated into the languages your audience needs, from a choice of 30+, and re-voiced in natural-sounding AI voices. Viewers select from the languages you enable for the event, and the captions and dubbed tracks stay with the replay.

How live captioning, translation and voice dubbing work on StreamShark
Live captions are a text transcript of the presenter, generated as they speak and shown in the player synchronized with the video. Live translation turns that transcript into other languages, and live voice dubbing voices each translation with an AI voice. All three run on the live stream itself, on the backup ingest as well as the primary and on streams protected with Hollywood-grade DRM, and caption and dubbing usage shows up in analytics for customers on the CMCD dashboards. Live captions, translations and voice dubbing require an Enterprise plan.
Live captions on every stream, from the moment you go live
Switch captions on when you set up the event and your feed is transcribed as it arrives.
Synchronized captions
Captions appear on screen as the presenter speaks, so viewers reading along stay with the room.A fully automated workflow
Once captioning is enabled, your only step is to send your feed. StreamShark transcribes the audio, times the captions and delivers them to the player.Custom vocabularies for names and terms
Load speaker names, brand names and product terms before the event and they are spelled correctly on screen the first time they are said.Built-in accessibility
Live captions make your stream accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers, a step toward accessibility standards such as WCAG and the ADA.Book a demo and we'll run live captions, translation and dubbing on a stream while you watch.
