Designed for the real moments that matter — not just quiet controlled environments.
From a far seat in a keynote hall at the Istanbul Congress Center or a venue in Ankara, the speaker is distant and the hall is loud. Point Captio AI toward the nearest PA speaker and read every word of the Turkish keynote from any seat.
At an academic conference — a research congress at an Istanbul university or a scientific meeting in Izmir — presenters speak fast and stack long agglutinated terms. Captio AI captions in real time and transcribes for later review.
Industry events, technology summits, and product launches in Istanbul 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 Turkish 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 Turkish tea 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 Turkey, sessions switch between Turkish 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 Turkish is hard to understand
Agglutination
- Long words built from stacked suffixes
- Turkish glues many suffixes onto a root to build a single long word that can carry what a whole English clause would. From a distant stage, a deaf attendee who misses one suffix in the middle loses the grammatical thread — and academic Turkish stacks these suffixes densely.
Vowel harmony
- Suffix vowels that shift and blur at speed
- Turkish suffixes change their vowels to harmonise with the root, so the same ending appears in several vowel forms. These unstressed suffix vowels sit at the ends of long words where fast podium speech weakens them, exactly where the grammar lives and lip-reading is hardest.
Consonant assimilation
- Sounds that change where morphemes meet
- As suffixes attach, Turkish consonants assimilate — a 'd' becomes a 't' after a voiceless sound, and other alternations ripple through the word. A deaf attendee tracking a term sees its consonants shift at the joins, so the same root looks different as it inflects through a technical argument.
Regional accents
- Istanbul, Anatolia, and the Black Sea differ
- A conference in Istanbul or Ankara draws speakers whose Turkish carries Anatolian, Aegean, or Black Sea (Trabzon) colouring — different vowels and, in some regions, dropped or altered consonants. A deaf attendee calibrated to standard Istanbul Turkish meets shifting speech from one presenter to the next.
Turkish–English code-switching
- Technical English inside Turkish sentences
- Turkish academic and business talks drop English terms into Turkish sentences constantly — a term of art in English mid-sentence, then back to Turkish. A deaf attendee lip-reading Turkish meets English phonology on the key vocabulary with no visual signal of the switch.

Hearing loss is a significant and under-counted issue in Turkey. Congenital hearing loss is relatively common — clinical series link a large share to familial and genetic causes, elevated in part by consanguinity — and against the global pattern in which around one in five people has some hearing loss, Turkey's population of roughly 85 million implies millions living with hearing difficulty. Newborn screening and rehabilitation services have expanded but remain uneven across the country's regions.
Turkey, and Istanbul in particular, has become a major hub for international congresses, technology summits, and industry events, hosted at large venues like the Istanbul Congress Center. These run on spoken Turkish delivered over PA systems, with English woven into technical sessions. Real-time Turkish 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 Turkish keynote and panel answer from any seat, record a dense session for the full transcript, and follow the conversations over Turkish tea — so a deaf professional in Istanbul or Ankara gets the same value from the same conference as everyone in the hall.

People love Captio AI
"Turkish keynotes stack long agglutinated words, and from the back of the hall if I miss a suffix I lose the meaning. Captio AI captioned the talk from my seat and I recorded it for the transcript. I followed a full congress session for the first time."
"Tech talks mix Turkish and English on every technical point. Captio AI captioned both from my seat without me switching anything. I read the whole session and knew exactly what the launch meant for my work."
"Panel Q&As are fast and speakers come from different regions, so the accents shift on the lips. Captio AI captioned every question from the floor. As a panellist I answered what was actually asked instead of guessing."
"Networking over tea 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."
