Designed for the real moments that matter — not just quiet controlled environments.
From a far seat in a keynote hall at PALEXCO in A Coruña or a venue in Santiago de Compostela, the speaker is distant and the hall is loud. Point Captio AI toward the nearest PA speaker and read every word of the Galician keynote from any seat.
At an academic conference — a research congress at the University of Santiago de Compostela or a scientific meeting in Vigo — presenters speak fast and mix in terminology. Captio AI captions in real time and transcribes for later review.
Industry events, technology summits, and product launches in A Coruña and Vigo carry content that affects your work. Captio AI captions every speaker so you follow the panel.
In a workshop or breakout, several voices contribute in a Galician–Spanish mix from around the table. Place Captio AI on the table and follow every contribution, including from the back.
The most useful conversations often happen over coffee breaks and at the conference dinner. Captio AI works in these noisy, informal settings the same way it does in the main hall.
At an international conference in Galicia, sessions switch between Galician, Spanish, and English. Live Translator captions foreign-language talks in real time so you follow the full programme.

Live captions from any seat
Point the phone toward the nearest PA output or speaker. Captio AI captions whoever is presenting in real time — from the front row or the back of a large conference hall.
Works without venue infrastructure
No hearing loop, no captioning service, no advance booking required. Captio AI works independently via microphone — whether or not the venue has provided any accessibility infrastructure.
Covers what official captioning does not
Official captioning, where it exists, typically covers the main stage only. Q&A sessions, workshops, breakouts, and networking are usually left uncaptioned. Captio AI covers all of it.
Record and review after
Record any session and upload it to Audio Transcription for a full written record. Use AI Summary to extract key takeaways — useful for dense technical content you want to process at your own pace.
60+ languages
For international conferences, foreign-language keynotes, or multilingual panels. Live Translator captions and translates in real time across 60+ languages with no manual switching between speakers.
Works for networking too
The conversations in hallways and at lunch matter as much as the sessions. Captio AI works in any setting — informal, noisy, unstructured — the same way it works in the main hall.
Why Galician is hard to understand
Gheada
- The /g/ that turns into a breath
- In much of western and central Galicia, /g/ is pronounced as a throaty /h/ or /x/ — gato ('cat') can sound like 'hato'. The consonant a lip-reader expects to see is not made at the lips at all but deep in the throat, so from a distant stage a deaf attendee misses a sound that anchors a technical term.
Seseo
- The z and c that merge into s
- Western Galician merges the z and soft c sounds into a plain s. Words that a deaf attendee expects to be distinguished by these sounds collapse together, and the merger varies by region — so the same term can look and sound different depending on which part of Galicia a presenter is from.
Open and closed vowels
- Seven vowels where Spanish has five
- Galician, like Portuguese, contrasts open and closed mid vowels — two different kinds of e and o that change meaning. These vowel qualities are subtle and nearly invisible on the lips, so a deaf attendee calibrated to Castilian's five-vowel system misses a distinction Galician relies on.
Galician–Spanish code-switching
- Two languages blended in daily speech
- Galicia is thoroughly bilingual, and speakers move between Galician and Castilian constantly — sometimes within a single sentence, on the technical terms. A deaf attendee lip-reading Galician must track two systems at once, with no visual signal of the switch.
Dialect blocks
- West, centre, and east each sound different
- Galician divides into western, central, and eastern dialect blocks, and features like gheada and seseo cluster in some areas but not others. A conference draws speakers from across Galicia, so a deaf attendee meets shifting pronunciation from one presenter to the next.

Spain has 1,064,000 people who are deaf or have a hearing disability according to the National Statistics Institute — about 2.3% of the population — while more recent EuroTrak data puts the number living with some hearing loss at roughly one in ten. Galicia carries an outsized share because it is one of Spain's oldest regions by population, and age-related hearing loss rises steeply after 65. Across Spain, fewer than 40% of people with hearing loss use a hearing aid, leaving a large professional group navigating working life on unaided hearing.
A Coruña, Vigo, and Santiago de Compostela host a growing conference and events sector — the academic congresses of the region's universities, the technology and industry summits at venues like PALEXCO. These run on spoken Galician and Spanish delivered over PA systems, with English woven into technical sessions. Real-time Galician captioning of keynotes, panels, and Q&A is almost never provided, and where any accessibility exists it does not reach the breakouts and networking where professional value is built.
Captio AI closes that gap. Point the phone toward the PA and read every Galician keynote and panel answer from any seat, record a dense session for the full transcript, and follow the conversations over a coffee break — so a deaf professional in A Coruña or Santiago gets the same value from the same conference as everyone in the hall.

People love Captio AI
"A Coruña tech talks drop English terms into Galician on every point, delivered fast from a far stage. I caught fragments. Captio AI captioned both from my seat. I read the whole session and knew exactly what the announcements meant for my team."
"The gheada turns the /g/ into a breath, so words I expect to lip-read just are not there on the mouth. Captio AI captioned the keynote accurately and I recorded the session. I followed a full congress talk for the first time."
"Western and eastern Galician differ, and speakers switch between Galician and Spanish. Captio AI captioned all of it and the audience questions. As a panellist I answered what was actually asked instead of guessing."
"Networking over coffee is where the useful conversations happen, and it used to be the part I stepped back from. Captio AI captioned the informal chats at the reception so I could take part. That is where I met my first investor."
