Real-Time Transcription
Create a better user experience with the most accurate live transcription and subtitling
Instantly transcribe speech to text for live audio and video
Agora’s Real-Time Transcription provides accurate live transcription and subtitling services at a low cost.
Reduce cost and increase efficiency
Channel-based live transcription allows you to distribute live captions to all participants in channel while only paying for the duration of a channel—not the number of users. This approach is far more efficient and lower cost when compared to traditional client-side live transcription.
Get the most accurate results at scale
Cutting-edge AI ensures the highest accuracy even with overlapping speech, regional accents, and poor network conditions. Scale from one-to-one meetings to up to millions of participants with the same accuracy.
Integrate with ease
Simple APIs integration for a full solution supporting transcription from audio to text, live captioning, and cloud recording with closed captioning (CC) that works on any device. Extend with new features using the Restful API.
