Ai-Live

Conference organisers and universities that want a managed live caption service.

Ai-Live, part of the Ai-Media group in the UK, focuses on live captioning for classrooms and conferences rather than broadcast. Captions can be delivered to projectors, web overlays, or directly to attendees' phones. Service combines ASR with optional human respeakers for ADA-grade accuracy.

Ai-Live is the live event sibling of AI-Media, aimed at venues that need captions on screens rather than on air. Universities are the biggest customer segment: lecture halls and conference rooms where students need real-time captions on a projector, on a secondary screen, or on their own laptops and phones. Conferences and corporate events are the other major use case. The technical pitch is multi-channel delivery from a single capture source. A single live transcription feed can be projected on the main screen, displayed on a captioned web page that attendees pull up on their phones, embedded in a livestream overlay, or formatted to integrate with venue captioning hardware. The hybrid model is the differentiator against pure-AI alternatives. For ADA-grade accuracy on important events (legal proceedings, accessibility-mandated lectures, certain conferences), Ai-Live can deploy a human respeaker who listens to the audio and speaks a corrected version into the ASR for cleaner output. That's slower and more expensive than pure AI but produces accuracy levels AI alone cannot reliably hit. The service is booked per event, with a sales conversation and event-specific quote. There is no developer API and no self-serve flow. For podcast post-production captioning this is the wrong tool. For live university and conference work, it's one of the leading specialists in the UK and Europe.
