Hebrew live captions and productivity tool for job interviews

Israel's Equal Rights for People with Disabilities Law provides a robust legal framework — employers cannot discriminate against deaf candidates and must provide reasonable accommodations. The law guarantees equal access to public services, employment, education, and other dimensions of daily life for those with disabilities. Despite this, research and advocacy documentation confirm that many deaf people in Israel still struggle to gain access to opportunities and necessary services, indicating a persistent gap between legal protection and practical outcomes at the hiring stage.

Israel's economy is among the most tech-intensive in the world, with a large defence technology sector, a well-established startup ecosystem (the 'Start-Up Nation'), and significant presence of multinational corporations. Job interviews in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem span government security clearance processes, tech startup informal assessments, and large corporate structured interviews — all conducted verbally, typically in a mix of Hebrew and English. No standard requirement mandates captioning at the interview stage, and Israel's military service framework (which most Israeli adults complete) creates an additional prior-service screening context that can disadvantage deaf candidates before the civilian interview process begins.

Hebrew's pharyngeal consonants ח and ע produce no visible lip movement. The uvular resh is acoustic. Two competing phonological traditions in the same interview room create variable lip shapes for the same vocabulary. And Israel's tech sector creates code-switching Hebrew-English interviews that require simultaneous tracking of two languages. Captio AI requires no employer arrangement: open the app at the start of the ראיון עבודה, place the phone on the desk, and every Hebrew sentence — guttural consonants resolved from audio — is available in real time.
