Live AI captions
Automatic captions in real time. Embedded EIA-608 covers the seven languages the standard supports, including English, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Italian.
Translated subtitles
Translated subtitles in real time, added without changing your workflow so a single live stream reaches viewers well beyond its home language.
Any RTMP(S) encoder
OBS Studio, vMix, Wirecast, Streamlabs and more. Send SyncWords your RTMP(S) push, we caption or translate it in real time, and it flows on to your players.
AI dubbed audio
Add AI voice dubbing with Vocalics for news, sports and narrated Brightcove programming. It keeps the speaker's tone, pacing and emotion. Closed captions and subtitles are included with every dub.
Higher accuracy on your terms
Load custom ASR dictionaries with names, acronyms and product terms. Per-language glossaries keep translated wording consistent.
Concurrent streams
Fully cloud-based, with no transcoding, so you can run many concurrent live streams at once and scale for the day.
AI dubbing
Live AI dubbing for Brightcove
Captions reach the audience that reads. Dubbing reaches the audience that listens. Vocalics, the SyncWords AI dubbing offering, dubs live news, sports and narrated programming in real time.
Dub into 86 languages
Natural-sounding AI dubbing in real time across 86 languages, with 900+ voices and regional accent options.
The speaker stays themselves
Voice transfer carries the original speaker's tone, pacing and emotion in real time across 38 languages. Preset voices and voice casting cover the rest.
One stream per language
Each dubbed language is delivered as its own stream, ready to publish as a separate Brightcove event for that audience. Closed captions and subtitles are included with every dub.
How it works
Four steps to a captioned Brightcove stream
SyncWords sits in the middle of your existing workflow. Nothing changes in how you produce the stream.
Send us your stream
Point your RTMP(S) encoder at SyncWords instead of straight to Brightcove. No change to how you produce.
We caption and translate
Captions are generated from your feed and translated for subtitles, in real time.
We hand it back
SyncWords passes the captioned stream on to Brightcove, as embedded EIA-608 or a separate caption track.
Viewers pick a language
Your audience turns on captions and reads along in the language they choose, on any device.
How your audience sees it
Reach every viewer, in their language
Captions and subtitles reach viewers however they watch your Brightcove stream, on any desktop or mobile device.
Player-native captions
Embedded EIA-608 and WebVTT tracks display right inside the Brightcove player, on any desktop or mobile device.
Standalone URL
Share one link to a caption-native page. Viewers open it in any browser and switch languages on the fly.
QR code access
Put a QR code on screen. Viewers scan it and read captions or subtitles on their own phone.
Embed anywhere
Add captions and subtitles with a snippet of JavaScript or an iframe, wherever your audience already watches.
