Designed for the real moments that matter — not just quiet controlled environments.
Job interviews in Galicia may be conducted in Galician, Spanish, or a mix of both depending on the employer. Captio AI handles both languages in real time so you are prepared for whichever the interviewer opens with.
Video interviews over Teams or Zoom are standard at Galician companies and firms in Santiago de Compostela, Vigo, and A Coruña. Captio AI captions the call audio in real time regardless of which language is used.
Phone screens at Galician firms are typically conducted in Spanish or Galician depending on the recruiter's preference. Captio AI captions the speech live without a video feed.
Panel interviews in Galicia may include speakers with different language preferences — one panelist in Galician, another in Spanish. Captio AI handles both in the same room.
International companies operating in Galicia often conduct rounds in English before returning to Spanish. Captio AI covers English, Galician, and Spanish in the same session.
Group assessment exercises at Galician employers involve collaborative discussion in Galician or Spanish. Captio AI helps you follow every speaker and every instruction across the group.

Built for the room where a missed word has real consequences
Read the full question before you answer
Every word appears on screen as the interviewer speaks. You read the question completely before responding — nothing guessed, nothing reconstructed.
Works in person and on any call format
In-person interviews, video calls, phone screens. Place the phone on the table or point it toward the audio — Captio AI handles every format.
Discreet by design
The app runs quietly on your phone. Place it on the table or hold it naturally. No explanation needed, no drawing attention to the accommodation.
No asking for repeats
Asking an interviewer to repeat a question signals uncertainty. Captio AI means you never need to — you read it in real time and answer with confidence.
Any language
For international roles, multilingual panels, or interviews conducted in a second language. Live Translator captions and translates in real time so language is never the barrier.
Private by default
Interview conversations are sensitive. Captio AI processes audio in real time and discards it immediately — nothing is stored, nothing is shared.
Why Galician is hard to understand
Gheada
- G becomes a fricative with no lip movement
- Gheada is a widespread phonological feature of western Galician where /ɡ/ is realised as a fricative [h, ħ, or x] — produced at the back of the throat or glottis with zero visible lip or face movement. G is a frequent consonant in Galician. For a deaf reader calibrated on standard speech, gheada-affected words look entirely different from what the speaker is actually saying.
Seseo
- Two sibilants merge into one
- In traditional and rural Galician varieties, seseo merges /s/ and /θ/ into a single sibilant [s]. A deaf reader who learned the distinction through standard spelling cannot use written cues to predict what will be heard — the opposition that writing implies does not exist in the speaker's mouth.
Galician–Spanish switching
- Two languages in one interview
- In Galician professional settings, speakers switch between Galician and Spanish depending on the employer, the topic, and who is in the room. Both language streams run simultaneously and must both be tracked across the same interview.
Unstressed vowel reduction
- Words that sound different when unstressed
- Galician, like Portuguese with which it shares deep roots, reduces unstressed vowels toward a more central or closed position. Words in casual professional speech can sound markedly different from their stressed or citation form, creating visual mismatches for a deaf reader.
Nasal vowels
- Vowels that change quality without visible difference
- Galician has nasalised vowels in certain phonological environments. Nasalisation is produced with the velum lowered — entirely inside the vocal tract with no visible lip change — adding a phonemic dimension that lip-reading cannot detect.

In Galicia, the employment rate of active citizens with disabilities was 29.4% in 2024 — one of the lower rates among Spanish autonomous communities and significantly below the national average. Spain as a whole reports 1,064,000 people who are deaf or have a hearing disability, representing 2.3% of the population according to the National Statistics Institute. In Galicia's economy, where traditional industries are supplementing with services and technology, deaf job seekers face both the structural employment gap and limited captioning infrastructure in recruitment.
Spain's unemployment rate among people with disabilities fell to 18.5% in 2024 — an improvement, but still substantially above the national rate for the general population. For deaf and hard of hearing candidates specifically, the barrier is most acute at the recruitment stage: without real-time captioning in the interview room, a candidate cannot demonstrate competence they undoubtedly possess. An accommodation that would address this — a live interpreter or captioner in the room — requires advance arrangement and is rarely proactively offered.
The WHO World Report on Hearing (2021) estimated the global annual cost of unaddressed hearing loss at over USD 980 billion, concentrated among working-age adults where employment participation is lowest. Captio AI gives deaf and hard of hearing job seekers in Santiago de Compostela, Vigo, and A Coruña a way to follow every word of a Galician interview in real time — in Galician or Spanish, without an interpreter and without advance disclosure.
