What Akkadu is
Akkadu is an AI live captioning tool for meetings, events and live streams. The site describes live captions across many languages, compatibility with conferencing and streaming platforms, and options for translation engine selection, accent recognition, custom glossaries, secure filtering and caption styling.
It covers three flows: meetings, events and live streaming.
What you can do with it
- Caption a meeting in several languages
- Show captions on a screen at an event
- Add captions to a live stream
- Improve terminology with a glossary
Who it is for
- Multinational teams
- Event and webinar organisers
- Streamers and educators
What to watch out for
- The accuracy figure on the site is a vendor claim; live quality depends on microphones, accents, terminology and network
- Test audio input, glossary and display before an important session
- Captions in a sensitive meeting mean audio is being processed and possibly recorded; confirm consent and data handling
- Accessibility needs still require checking that captions are accurate enough for the audience
