Live captions for meetings and events

What Akkadu is

Akkadu is an AI live captioning tool for meetings, events and live streams. The site describes live captions across many languages, compatibility with conferencing and streaming platforms, and options for translation engine selection, accent recognition, custom glossaries, secure filtering and caption styling.

It covers three flows: meetings, events and live streaming.

What you can do with it

Caption a meeting in several languages
Show captions on a screen at an event
Add captions to a live stream
Improve terminology with a glossary

Who it is for

Multinational teams
Event and webinar organisers
Streamers and educators

What to watch out for

The accuracy figure on the site is a vendor claim; live quality depends on microphones, accents, terminology and network
Test audio input, glossary and display before an important session
Captions in a sensitive meeting mean audio is being processed and possibly recorded; confirm consent and data handling
Accessibility needs still require checking that captions are accurate enough for the audience
