California startup launches tool for real-time translation at events
AI-powered translation startup XL8 has launched an upgraded version of EventCAT, its real-time translation and transcription platform designed for conferences, virtual meetings and live broadcasts. EventCAT now supports 42 languages and can help event organisers make their content more accessible to a multilingual audience.
Three EventCAT options for different event formats
EventCAT provides three options tailored to different event formats:
OnlineMeeting – Integrates with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet, delivering real-time translations and captions for all participants.
Conference – Designed for in-person events, it displays live translated subtitles on screens or mobile devices, already being used at universities and large-scale conferences.
LiveSubs – Adds subtitles to live streams and broadcasts, helping non-profits, religious organisations and online news channels reach multilingual audiences.
A growing market for AI translation
The global interpretation market, valued at $9.5bn in 2022, is projected to reach $26.6bn by 2031 (Business Research Insights). Traditional interpretation is costly and limited in supply, and the market for machine learning tools like EventCAT are predicted to grow significantly in coming years as technology improves and prices fall.
