Audience Engagement layers live emoji reactions, attendee highlights, and personal notes onto Wordly's real-time translation and caption stream — turning a session into a sentence-by-sentence map of what the room responded to.

On October 27, 2026, Wordly launched Audience Engagement, a feature that adds live reactions to the caption stream of its real-time translation and captioning platform for meetings and events. While a speaker is still talking, attendees can pin emoji reactions to specific sentences in the live transcript, mark key moments, and save personal notes — without leaving the Wordly app they are already using to follow the session.
The organizer side turns that into data. Because each reaction is tied to an individual sentence, Wordly captures which specific statements, topics, and quotes drew the strongest response, and organizers can measure room sentiment throughout a session without interrupting the speaker. Results can be compared across sessions and shared with speakers, stakeholders, and sponsors. Attendees follow and react in their own language — Wordly's core product provides live translation and captions across dozens of languages — and after the session they can export their highlights, notes, and summaries in the language they chose.
Wordly positions the feature as needing no extra setup for the audience: no attendee accounts, logins, or special hardware, and no additional AV setup or equipment. It follows other recent Wordly releases such as Silent Theater and Sponsor Logos. Wordly's own announcement does not specify which plans include Audience Engagement or whether it is priced separately, so confirm current availability and cost in the product or with a Wordly rep.
Here is the read for anyone who speaks at or runs events: Audience Engagement answers a question creators usually have to guess at — which thirty seconds of a keynote, panel, or webinar actually landed. Every emoji pinned to a sentence is a vote for a moment worth keeping. What Wordly does not do is turn those moments into anything an audience outside the room ever sees. That hand-off is exactly where [Kompozy](/) picks up.
Use the reaction map as your edit list. Pull the session recording and transcript into Kompozy's Quick Ingest, then cut the highest-reacted sentences into captioned [Clipped Shorts](/glossary/clipped-short) reframed for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts; lift the quotes that drew the strongest response into brand-exact [Carousel Posts](/glossary/hyperframes) and quote graphics; and turn the full talk into a blog article and an email newsletter — every text format held to one [Persona Brief](/glossary/persona-brief) so a conference session comes out in your brand's voice, not conference-speak. Add an avatar-narrated [Persona Short](/glossary/persona-shorts) to re-present the single most-reacted point on camera without filming again. Then [Autopilot](/glossary/autopilot) schedules and publishes the set across the eight social platforms plus blog and email behind a per-post review gate. Wordly tells you what the room loved; Kompozy ships it to the audience that was not in the room — starting at $199/mo.
It is a feature Wordly launched on October 27, 2026 that adds live audience reactions to its real-time translation and captioning platform for meetings and events. Attendees pin emoji reactions to specific sentences, mark key moments, and save notes in the Wordly app they already use to follow a session, and organizers see real-time sentiment tied to individual statements. No attendee accounts, logins, or special hardware are required.
Because each reaction is attached to a specific sentence, organizers can measure room sentiment throughout a session without interrupting the speaker and see which statements, topics, and quotes resonated most. They can compare engagement across sessions and share the results with speakers, stakeholders, and sponsors.
No. Audience Engagement enriches the live session and the post-event export — attendees can export highlights, notes, and summaries in their language — but it cuts no clips, writes no captions, and publishes nothing to a feed. Turning the most-reacted moments into finished posts is a separate job a content generation and publishing engine like Kompozy handles from the recording and transcript.
