Designed for the real moments that matter — not just quiet controlled environments.
From a far seat in a keynote hall at a Tel Aviv convention centre or a venue in Jerusalem, the speaker is distant and the hall is loud. Point Captio AI toward the nearest PA speaker and read every word of the Hebrew keynote from any seat.
At an academic conference — a research congress at a Tel Aviv or Jerusalem university or a scientific meeting in Haifa — presenters speak fast and mix in terminology. Captio AI captions in real time and transcribes for later review.
Industry events, the technology and startup summits Israel is known for, and product launches in Tel Aviv 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 Hebrew from around the table. Place Captio AI on the table and follow every contribution, including from the back of the room.
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 Israel, sessions switch between Hebrew 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 Hebrew is hard to understand
Guttural consonants
- Sounds made in the throat, invisible on the lips
- Hebrew has guttural consonants — het (ח) and ayin (ע), along with a glottal sound — produced in the throat with no lip movement. In a keynote a deaf attendee sees nothing of these sounds, and where ayin is reduced to a catch in the voice, whole word distinctions disappear.
Uvular resh
- The r sound made at the back of the mouth
- Modern Hebrew's resh (ר) is a uvular sound, produced far back in the mouth with no visible lip cue. It is extremely common, so from a distant stage a deaf attendee constantly misses a consonant that shapes the words of a technical talk.
Unwritten vowels
- The vowels that carry meaning are the ones that vanish
- Hebrew words are built from consonantal roots, and the vowels that turn a root into a specific word are normally unwritten and easily reduced in fast speech. A deaf attendee is left with a consonant skeleton and must guess the vowels — exactly the information a lip-reader cannot recover at podium pace.
Root-and-pattern homophony
- Related words that sound and look almost alike
- Because Hebrew derives many words from the same three-consonant root by changing the vowel pattern, closely related terms sit very near each other in sound and on the lips. In a dense talk, a deaf attendee who misses the vowel pattern cannot tell which form of the root was meant.
Hebrew–English code-switching
- Technical English inside Hebrew sentences
- Israel's technology sector — the 'Startup Nation' — mixes English into Hebrew constantly, dropping English terms and product names into Hebrew sentences. A deaf attendee lip-reading Hebrew meets English phonology on the key vocabulary, then returns to Hebrew, with no visual signal of the switch.

Israel's deaf and hard of hearing population is estimated at around 7,000 deaf people and some 500,000 with hearing impairment — on the order of several percent of the population — and most deaf Israelis use and understand sign language. Research has documented the communication obstacles deaf people face, particularly in accessing critical information, and genetic studies point to a substantial hereditary component of hearing loss across the country's diverse communities. Many of these people are the researchers and engineers who fill Israel's conference audiences.
Israel is one of the world's most conference-intensive economies, especially in technology — the startup and venture summits of Tel Aviv, the academic congresses of its universities, the industry events that draw global attendees. These run on spoken Hebrew, with English heavily mixed in, delivered over PA systems. Real-time Hebrew captioning of keynotes, panels, and Q&A is rarely 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 Hebrew 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 Tel Aviv or Jerusalem gets the same value from the same conference as everyone in the hall.

Gone the moment it ends
Captio AI processes your audio in real time and discards it immediately. Nothing is recorded. Nothing is kept.
Not a product
Your conversations are not something Captio AI sells, shares, or monetizes — to anyone, for any reason.
Not used to train anything
What you say in a doctor's appointment or a job interview never ends up in a training dataset. Not ours. Not anyone else's.

People love Captio AI
"Tel Aviv startup talks mix Hebrew and English 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 which companies to follow up with."
"The gutturals and the uvular resh give me nothing on the lips, and the vowels are not even written. Captio AI captioned the keynote accurately and I recorded the session. I followed a full congress talk for the first time."
"Hebrew builds so many words from the same root that they blur together for me, and the Q&A moves fast. Captio AI captioned every audience question. As a panellist I answered what was actually asked instead of guessing."
"Networking over coffee is where the deals start in this city, 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."
