Designed for the real moments that matter — not just quiet controlled environments.
Live TV in Slovenian moves fast — an RTV SLO news bulletin, a ski race, a national holiday broadcast. Point Captio AI at the screen and read the commentary and reporting in real time as it happens.
Streaming catalogues carry Slovenian dubs and originals, but deaf-accessible captions are inconsistent. Captio AI captions a series or film from the audio, so you follow the dialogue whether or not the platform provides subtitles.
Slovenian YouTube and social clips — creators from Ljubljana, Maribor, and the coast — rarely carry reliable captions. Point Captio AI at the speaker and read every word.
Foreign films reach Slovenian screens subtitled, but the subtitles are for translation, not for deaf access. Captio AI captions the audio in real time, so you can follow along regardless.
In a Ljubljana cinema showing a Slovenian film, hold your phone toward the audio and read the dialogue as the scene plays.
Slovenian podcasts and radio — news, culture, sport talk — arrive as audio only. Upload a recording to Captio AI and read the full conversation as text.

Built for the content that subtitles fail
Captions any content in real time
Point the phone toward any speaker — TV, laptop, tablet, cinema screen. Captio AI captions whatever is playing, regardless of whether that platform provides subtitles.
Faster than built-in subtitles for live content
Pre-generated subtitles lag behind live TV by several seconds. Captio AI captions in real time — so you read what is being said as it is being said.
Works on any screen or device
No integration required. Point the phone toward the audio source — the same approach works for a large TV, a laptop screen, a cinema, or a phone held at arm's length.
Any language, translated in real time
For foreign-language content, switch to Live Translator. It translates as content plays — so a French film, a German documentary, or a Japanese series all become watchable.
No subtitle file needed
Captio AI captions from the audio directly. No subtitle file, no platform support, no creator requirement. If audio plays, Captio AI can caption it.
More accurate than auto-generated captions
The industry average for AI-generated subtitles is a 10–15% word error rate — roughly 1 in 10 words wrong (3Play Media). Captio AI is built for accuracy in real-world audio conditions.
Why Slovenian is hard to understand
Pitch and length
- Tone and vowel length hidden in the voice
- Standard Slovenian distinguishes words by pitch and by vowel length, and both live entirely in the voice. A deaf viewer watching a news anchor or a dubbed voice gets no visual cue for the tone or the length that separates one word from another.
The dual
- A grammatical form for exactly two
- Slovenian keeps a full dual number — special endings used when there are exactly two of something. These endings attach to the tail of the word where lip-reading is weakest, so a deaf viewer can miss whether a speaker meant two people or many.
Schwa reduction
- Casual speech drops vowels into a schwa
- In everyday and fast on-air speech Slovenian squeezes vowels down to a neutral schwa and collapses consonant clusters. The mouth barely moves for these, so a deaf viewer following a talk show or interview loses whole syllables in the flow.
Dialect density
- One of Europe's most dialect-rich languages
- Slovenian has dozens of distinct dialects across seven major groups in a small country, and speakers bring their regional sound onto the screen. A deaf viewer calibrated to Ljubljana speech meets a markedly different vowel and stress pattern from a Prekmurje or Primorska speaker.
Register gap
- Written standard versus spoken reality
- The polished standard heard on the formal news is quite different from the relaxed colloquial Slovenian of dramas and chat shows. A deaf viewer who reads a clean caption on the news still faces a very different spoken target elsewhere in the schedule.

Slovenia's Deaf community has used Slovenian Sign Language on television since 1980, when RTV SLO and the national deaf association launched a dedicated signed programme, and the broadcaster has run a Broadcast Access Services team since 2018. Behind those signed windows is a much larger population of hard of hearing viewers across a country of around 2.1 million with a steadily ageing profile — people who need captions on the screen, not signing.
Slovenian law obliges only public media providers to make their broadcasts accessible, and RTV SLO delivers with teletext subtitles on its main channels and interpreted daily news. But that duty stops at the public broadcaster: commercial channels, streaming, and the foreign content that fills the schedules fall outside it, and the translation subtitles on foreign films were never built for deaf access.
The result is a viewer covered for public-service news and signed programmes, and left out of most of what is actually on the screen. Captio AI closes that gap: point the phone at any screen — an RTV SLO bulletin, a commercial-channel drama, a subtitled foreign film — and read Slovenian captions in real time from the audio, whatever the channel and whether or not the content was captioned.

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.
