By using our Speech to Text Transcription feature, you’ll be combining both speech recognition and live translation, which means your online events will now have real time subtitles during your sessions.
Throughout presentations in the Virtual Lobby, transcriptions will show up in a tab on your chat and it will be synchronized with your live stream preview, so everything said by the presenters will be automatically transcribed and translated to your audience.
