The Salzburg-based platform says its bring-your-own-device software now delivers live captions and translated subtitles to 5,000+ clients across more than 100 countries — and every captioned event now ships a clean, exportable transcript.

On October 31, 2026, LiveVoice (LiveVoice GmbH, headquartered in Salzburg, Austria, and founded by Johannes Wigand) announced via GlobeNewswire that its live-event audio platform had passed 5,000 clients worldwide. The release — "LiveVoice Leads in Live Event Captioning as Its Service Reaches 5,000+ Clients Worldwide" — frames the milestone specifically around captioning: event organizers using LiveVoice to deliver live captions and translated subtitles to attendees' phones, web browsers, and venue screens. Alongside the client figure, the company reports more than 50,000 admin users, over 850,000 app downloads, more than 200,000 events run, and use in over 100 countries. These are self-reported marketing numbers, not independently audited figures.
LiveVoice is a cloud, bring-your-own-device platform: attendees use their own phone and headphones, so venues don't supply or maintain receiver hardware. Audio streams over Wi-Fi or mobile networks, and listeners join through an app or browser using a QR code, a link, or an access key. Beyond captioning, the platform does AI live translation and simultaneous interpretation (human or AI) across 70+ languages, guided tours, silent conferencing, and audio description for blind and visually impaired audiences. The company says replacing traditional interpretation hardware can cut costs by up to 80%, and points to deployments at Champions League press conferences, Handball-Bundesliga matches, the Red Bull Ring (Formula 1 and MotoGP), UFC, and the Biathlon World Cup.
The captioning capability itself is worth understanding for anyone who makes content. LiveVoice's AI Live Captions produce real-time subtitles and a running transcript for any audio channel in over 70 languages, displayed on phones, in browsers, or on venue screens (fullscreen, scrolling, or lower-third overlay). After the event, organizers can download the transcript as plain text, CSV, SRT, or VTT. Admin sign-up is free; captions and AI translation are billed separately on a pay-as-you-go, per-minute basis.
Two caveats. The figures come from LiveVoice's own release distributed over GlobeNewswire, so treat them as company claims rather than verified metrics. And LiveVoice itself still recommends human interpreters for legal, medical, or diplomatic content — a useful honesty flag on the limits of AI translation. The real signal in the milestone is how routine on-device live captioning and translation have become for in-person and hybrid events.
A live-captioned event is a content archive you haven't opened yet. The moment the session ends, LiveVoice hands you a timestamped transcript — download it as SRT or VTT — and, if you recorded, the footage. That is exactly the raw material a content engine turns into a full week of posts. The capture-and-caption problem this milestone celebrates is the easy half; the half that actually builds an audience is turning one hour of talk into finished, on-brand content wherever people scroll.
That is the job [Kompozy](/) does. Paste the LiveVoice transcript or point Kompozy at the recording, and it generates the set under one [Persona Brief](/glossary/persona-brief): captioned vertical clips cut from the long-form video, a Blog Article recap structured as a direct answer to a real question, brand-exact [Carousel Posts](/glossary/hyperframes) of the key takeaways, Quote Graphics of the best lines, an Email Newsletter, and [persona video](/glossary/persona-shorts) — then schedules and publishes the whole set across eight social platforms plus your blog and email on [Autopilot](/glossary/autopilot) behind a per-post review gate. Because LiveVoice already produced subtitles in 70+ languages, you can spin the same event into content for multiple language audiences.

LiveVoice said its live-event captioning and audio platform had passed 5,000 clients worldwide, positioning itself as a leader in live event captioning. The same release reported more than 50,000 admin users, over 850,000 app downloads, more than 200,000 events, and use in over 100 countries. The figures are self-reported company numbers distributed via GlobeNewswire.
LiveVoice is a cloud, bring-your-own-device platform that turns attendees' own phones into audio receivers for live events. It delivers live captions and translated subtitles, AI and human simultaneous interpretation in 70+ languages, audio description for blind and visually impaired audiences, guided tours, and silent conferencing — all without renting receiver hardware.
Yes, and the exported transcript makes it easy. LiveVoice lets you download the caption transcript as text, CSV, SRT, or VTT after the event. Feed that transcript (or the recording) to a content engine like Kompozy and it can generate captioned clips, a blog recap, carousels, quote graphics, and a newsletter, then publish them across platforms — the step LiveVoice does not perform.
LiveVoice says its AI live translation and AI live captions each support more than 70 languages, including regional variants, with human interpretation available as an add-on for high-stakes content. Language counts are from the company's own pages.
