Speak the Language of Your Customers, Investors and Employees
GlobalMeet builds an inclusive culture that breaks down language barriers, fosters team building, and improves accessibility and inclusivity with live interpretations or captions during events.
Make your Virtual Events More Accessible
Whether you’re a global organization collaborating with partners, investors, and customers across multiple languages or an enterprise business with hundreds of employees around the globe, language captions, and live interpreters help create accessible, open environments.
By removing language barriers and increasing transparency, audiences around the world can understand and digest any type of communication. Research shows that when viewers can’t understand or hear a speaker, they quickly zone out and consider the information less credible. This directly impacts your business revenue and reduces the effectiveness of your virtual events strategy. GlobalMeet’s innovative technology unlocks one of the most significant hurdles to global communication.

Content Captioning Promotes Accessibility
With more than 7,100+ languages spoken around the world, the next generation of content revolves around audiences feeling comfortable and engaged in their native tongue. As content is more accessible, viewers can stream on-demand or live on their own schedule in their own way. Also, as people are increasingly on-the-go, 60% of videos are viewed on mobile phones — often without the sound on! Also, nearly 1 in 20 Americans have some type of hearing impairment. Embracing content captioning and paying close attention to content accessibility not only promotes an inclusive environment but helps get the most out of your content.
As 91% of viewers watch everyday videos with captions turned on, content captioning helps encourage engagement, increase comprehension, and extend viewing times. Whether you’re streaming an event in another language or tuning into a live stream from an overseas brand, captioning offers your business the unique opportunity to stand out and increase your reach.

Increased benefits of captions
GlobalMeet offers auto-generated captioning and human captioning, which both encourage accessibility around the world. Captions and in-event transcripts create clear, easy-to-understand financial presentations for investors, seamless onboarding training for new employees, engaging sales kickoffs for global sales teams, and more.
Both human and automated captioning offer valuable accessibility options for your virtual event, but they can also bring so much more. One of our event captioning options can make webcasts searchable providing text transcripts for you to use on blog posts, website pages, emails, and more. This captioning option can also make your webcasts more action-oriented, efficient, and productive, as viewers can quickly find information and specific topics during and after the event. When key points are easily discoverable, your VIP information can be hammered home.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between live captions and replay captions?
Live Captions is event audio transcribed in real-time and displayed during the event. Replay Captions is event audio transcribed from the event recording and captured in a file uploaded to the event replay. Timestamps in the file ensure that captions sync with event audio.
Is it a person or a software program that transcribes the audio?
It can be “human-generated,” where a professional transcriber joins the event and transcribes the event audio in real-time (live) or listens to an event recording and captures text (replay). It can also be automated, where a computer program converts the event audio into written captions using automatic speech recognition (ASR) to turn speech into text.
What is the difference between interpretation and translation?
Interpretation is when the spoken language is converted in real-time to another spoken language. This is a service provided by a person. Translation is when written text from one language is converted into another written language. This can be done by a computer or a person, with the latter delivering a significantly higher quality result.
What languages can you provide captions in?
The GlobalMeet team is continuously working to advance our caption capabilities to help make your events even more inclusive. Presently, for automated captions, we can convert the English source language into English captions. For live human and replay captions, there are numerous languages to choose from.
Can we use captions for professionally managed and webcast subscription events?
Yes! Captions are available for professionally managed events and webcast subscription events.
Is the GlobalMeet solution considered accessible and does it meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)?
Accessibility is a priority for GlobalMeet and we are currently engaged with a dedicated accessibility firm to do continual analysis of our system, provide guidance on areas where we can improve accessibility and create an updated VPATs each year to indicate our level of conformance with the latest WCAG standards.
