Designed for the real moments that matter — not just quiet controlled environments.
From a far seat in a keynote hall in Jakarta or Bali, the speaker is distant and the room is loud. Point Captio AI toward the nearest PA speaker and read every word of the Indonesian keynote from any seat.
At an academic conference — a research congress at a Jakarta or Bandung university — presenters speak fast and pack talks with terminology. Captio AI captions in real time and transcribes for later review.
Industry events, startup summits, and product launches in Jakarta or Surabaya carry content that affects your work. Captio AI captions every speaker so you follow the panel and miss nothing.
In a workshop or breakout, several voices contribute in an Indonesian–English 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 kopi 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 Indonesia, sessions switch between Indonesian, English, and other languages. 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 Indonesian is hard to understand
Formal–colloquial gap
- Baku Indonesian on stage, gaul in the hallway
- Conference keynotes use formal, standard (baku) Indonesian — full forms like 'tidak' and 'saya' — while the coffee-break conversation switches to colloquial Jakarta speech with contractions like 'gak' and 'gue'. A deaf attendee lip-reads across two quite different registers within the same event.
Regional accents
- Speakers bring their island to the podium
- An Indonesian conference draws presenters whose Indonesian carries Javanese, Sundanese, Batak, or eastern-island colouring — different rhythms, vowels, and stress. A deaf attendee calibrated to Jakarta Indonesian meets a new accent with each speaker who takes the stage.
Indonesian–English code-switching
- Technical English inside Indonesian sentences
- Indonesian academic and startup talks drop English terms into Indonesian sentences constantly — 'kita deploy', 'ini use case'. A deaf attendee lip-reading Indonesian meets English phonology on the key term, then returns to Indonesian, with no visual signal of the switch.
Javanese layering
- Politeness levels and Javanese words woven in
- Speakers from Central and East Java layer Javanese vocabulary and its formal-versus-casual distinctions into their Indonesian. A deaf attendee following the standard language suddenly meets a Javanese word or honorific with no visual warning, breaking the thread of a technical point.
Fast reduced speech
- Rapid delivery clips affixes
- Indonesian carries grammar on prefixes and suffixes, and in fast, confident delivery these affixes clip and blur. In a quick panel Q&A, the affixes that mark who does what to whom fade on the lips just when a deaf attendee needs them.

Indonesia has a large hearing-impaired population: around 5.16 million people were recorded with hearing impairments as of 2020, while the central statistics agency found that almost nine million Indonesians over the age of 10 had difficulty hearing, and a WHO regional study put prevalence at around 4.2% across all age groups. Across the archipelago, diagnosis and hearing-aid access are uneven, so a substantial professional population lives and works with under-supported hearing loss.
Indonesia's conference and events sector has grown quickly — the academic congresses of the major universities, the technology and startup summits of Jakarta, the industry events that increasingly run in Bali — all delivered in spoken Indonesian over PA systems, with English woven into technical talks. Real-time Indonesian captioning of keynotes, panels, and the 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 Indonesian keynote and panel answer from any seat, record a dense session for the full transcript, and follow the conversations over a kopi break — so a deaf professional in Jakarta or Bali 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
"Startup talks in Jakarta are Indonesian and English mixed on every point. From the back of the hall I caught almost nothing. Captio AI captioned both languages from my seat. I read the whole pitch session and knew which companies to follow up with."
"The keynote was formal baku Indonesian, delivered fast from a far stage. Captio AI captioned it accurately and I recorded the session for the transcript. For once I followed a full congress talk instead of reading the slides and guessing the rest."
"Speakers from Java layer Javanese words into their Indonesian, and the panel moved fast. Captio AI captioned every answer as the mic went around. I left the launch knowing exactly what changed, not waiting for a summary."
"Networking over kopi is where the real conversations happen, and it used to be the part I stepped away from. Captio AI captioned the informal chats at the reception so I could take part and introduce people. It changed how I run the event."
