Wordly

What is Wordly?

Wordly is an AI platform for live translation, captions, transcripts, summaries and audience engagement at meetings, conferences, webinars and events. Its tagline is Nobody Misses a Word. It works for in-person, Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, Webex and hybrid events, and attendees join by QR code or link on their own device.

Key capabilities of Wordly

• Live translation and captions: translates speech into attendees' languages as captions or audio.
• 60+ languages: over 60 languages for one fixed hourly price and over 3,000 language pairs, per the vendor.
• Custom glossaries: controls names, organizations and industry terms.
• Transcripts and summaries: post-session records and summaries.
• Subtitles and AI dubbing: adds translated subtitles and audio.
• Audience engagement: sentiment analysis and engagement tools.
• Support: pre-event onboarding, session setup and 24/7 and on-site support.

How Wordly works

The organizer sets up a session, and speakers talk as normal. Wordly transcribes and translates in real time, and attendees open a link or scan a QR code to read or hear their chosen language, with no downloads. Captions can also appear on in-room monitors, and Wordly can connect directly to the mixer so transcripts show on stage. Two-way translation lets presenters speak in many languages.

Who uses Wordly?

Event organizers, associations, enterprises and education or nonprofit groups use it to make meetings multilingual without hiring human interpreters for each language. The vendor lists SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification and support for GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA and VPAT requirements. High-stakes legal or diplomatic settings may still need human interpreters.

Wordly pricing

Wordly is priced by the number of hours purchased, and the vendor claims savings of up to 90 percent compared with human interpreters. Volume, nonprofit, NGO and education discounts are available. Exact prices are not listed, so buyers request a custom proposal. The site links to Try it now, an online demo and a 30-minute live demo.

Wordly alternatives

Timekettle makes translation earbuds and devices for personal conversations, which is a different scale from conference interpretation. Microsoft Translator offers live translated captions in Teams and a conversation feature, so it is useful when you are already on Microsoft tools. ModernMT is an adaptive machine translation engine for documents and content, rather than live event interpretation.
