What is live event captioning?
Live event captioning is the real time display of spoken words as on screen text during a live event. It makes events accessible to deaf and hard of hearing audience members, supports attendees for whom English is a second language, and satisfies accessibility compliance requirements across corporate, government and public facing events in Australia.
Traditionally delivered by a human stenographer, live captioning has always been expensive and operationally complex. AI-Media LEXI replaces that process entirely. Faster. More accurate. Significantly more affordable.
Live event captioning hire and LEXI hardware.
AVE supplies two LEXI hardware units for live event captioning: the LEXI Viewer 610 and the LEXI 492. Both deliver the same AI-Media LEXI captioning engine with 99% accuracy. For events requiring a post event transcript, AVE also supplies the Alta RTMP cloud transcription service.
The right solution depends on your event setup and production brief. AVE’s production team advises on configuration as part of the quote process. No guesswork. No upcharges on event day.
Live event captioning hire for conferences and corporate events.
Keynote addresses. Panel discussions. Town halls. AGMs. Awards presentations. Any event where spoken content needs to reach every audience member clearly and accessibly is a candidate for LEXI captioning.
LEXI delivers a measurable accessibility outcome without adding operational complexity. AVE’s technical crew handles setup and operation. Captions appear on screen automatically from the moment the speaker begins. No separate operator to brief. No transcript to reconcile. No post event process.
For corporate events where accessibility compliance is a documented requirement, AVE provides a written record of the captioning service for compliance and reporting purposes.
