Live Captions
Live captions provide AI-powered, real-time text representation of spoken content during events within a meeting room, such as presentations, meetings, or videos.
Live captions are currently in closed Beta and available to selected customers only. Email us at embedded@whereby.com to join our beta testing program (terms and conditions apply).
Live captions automatically generate real-time text on the screen of a meeting room during the meeting itself. It usually focuses on key spoken content and may not include every single word, like filler words.
Primarily used for real-time accessibility, helping participants follow along as the meeting progresses without needing to listen to the audio.
Live captions is a supplementary feature of our paid Whereby Embedded plans. You can review the pricing and options on our site.
What is an unmuted participant minute? This is calculated using the number of participants who are unmuted during a call. For example, a 60 minute meeting containing 2 people who are unmuted for the whole meeting would use 120 unmuted participant minutes. Alternatively, a 60 minute meeting with 3 participants, where only 2 participants were unmuted and the third participant was muted for the whole meeting, would also use 120 unmuted participant minutes. From the moment a participant is unmuted, this usage counts towards the number of unmuted participant minutes, even if they do not actively talk or engage on the call.
Supported languages
Live captions generate real-time speech to text in the specified language. You need to declare the language used by your session participants in advance - in the global configuration or per room.
