Speak once.Heard in every language.
Captio runs live captions in your audience's language on their own phones. One QR code. No app, no account, nothing to install.
Three steps. No app, no account.
Your audience opens captions the same way they'd join wifi. You start a session and speak.
Scan the QR.
Show one QR on screen. Phones open the captions page directly — no app store, no download.
Pick a language.
Each listener picks from the languages you chose for the session — up to three of 40. They can switch mid-session without missing a line.
Read along.
Captions arrive within seconds of the words being spoken. Reads as live, not as a delayed transcript.

We didn't reinvent translation. We removed the friction around it — for hosts and audiences both.

Questions, answered straight.
How does pricing work?
Each plan includes a monthly credit allowance. Credits are consumed per minute of live captioning — the rate depends on how many languages you're translating to. You can top up credits at any time. Unused monthly credits don't roll over, but purchased top-up credits never expire.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — every new account gets $2 in trial credits automatically. No credit card required to start.
How many languages can my audience read in?
You pick up to 3 audience languages when you start a session, from 40 supported. Each listener chooses one of those on their phone and can switch at any time.
Are glossaries and transcripts available on all plans?
Yes. Every plan includes custom glossaries (for domain-specific terminology like medical or religious terms) and session transcripts, which you turn on in settings. Transcript retention varies: 30 days on Starter, 90 days on Growth, 1 year on Pro.
Does my audience need to install anything?
No. Audience members scan a QR code and see captions in their browser. No app, no account, no install — ever.
Can I use Captio for large conferences?
Captio currently supports one speaker per session. For multi-speaker panels or events requiring SLA guarantees, contact us. A DPA is available on request on the Pro plan.
