Captions have become indispensable for enhancing comprehension and engagement across various settings, ensuring inclusivity in live content.

Recognizing this increasing need, Broadcast Pix proudly announces the integration of VoCaption live captioning into its line of Hybrid solutions.

Integrated into Broadcast Pix FX Hybrid, MX Hybrid, GX Hybrid, and Roadie Systems, VoCaption offers enhanced flexibility and versatility, allowing users to start or stop live captioning effortlessly from Broadcast Pix's configurable user interfaces.

Enhanced Accuracy: VoCaption achieves an impressive accuracy rate of over 90-95%, surpassing the typical 80% accuracy of online streaming platforms. Users can further enhance accuracy with features like the custom dictionary, ensuring precise and reliable captions even in challenging audio environments.
