CaptionSense24/7 Proactive AI Module

Live captions, generated inside your facility

Broadcast-grade automatic captioning in more than 90 languages, live or file-based, with captions inserted straight into the transport stream.

CaptionSense turns live program audio into compliant captions without sending a single frame to a third-party cloud. It generates CEA-608/708 caption data and inserts it at the packet level, so encoders, playout, and archive downstream all receive finished captions in the stream itself. No sidecar files. No external captioning service in your signal path.

Why operators switch

Live captioning is a cost center with a compliance deadline attached

Without Sense · Manual & legacy probesReactive spot-checks

Human captioning of live output is expensive, hard to staff across languages, and impossible to scale to every channel you run. External captioning services add a cloud dependency to your signal path and put your content on someone else's infrastructure. Meanwhile the accessibility obligations don't move.

  • 1 operator cannot monitor 40+ tracks by ear or eye at once
  • Legacy probes confirm packet presence, not what airs inside the stream
  • Faults survive on air for minutes until viewers or affiliates complain
With CaptionSense · Proactive 24/7 augmentationContinuous AI watch

CaptionSense makes captioning a fixed capability of the facility. Every channel, every hour, every language you broadcast in.

  • Watches 100% of licensed tracks simultaneously with zero fatigue
  • Flags the exact fault, timecode clip, and fix while you can still act
  • Augments your crew to cover 10x more feeds without extra headcount
In proof-of-concept deployments with Tier 1 broadcasters in North America and Europe.

Live signal pipeline

How it works

  1. 01STAGE 01

    Tap the audio

    CaptionSense takes program audio from your stream over SRT, RTMP, MPEG-TS, HLS, or JPEG-XS (TR-07), or from file.

  2. 02STAGE 02

    Transcribe locally

    An ensemble ASR engine runs on your hardware and selects the strongest transcription for the language on air.

  3. 03STAGE 03

    Generate caption data

    Transcripts become timed CEA-608/708 caption data, formatted for broadcast.

  4. 04STAGE 04

    Insert into the stream

    Captions are inserted at the packet level into the transport stream, or written into file-based workflows including MXF.

Capabilities

  • 24/7 ACTIVE

    Packet-level caption insertion

    CEA-608/708 written directly into MPEG-TS. Captions travel with the stream through everything downstream.

  • PROACTIVE ALARM

    More than 90 languages

    Standard and Specialized coverage tiers, with per-language fine-tuning for regional accents and vocabulary.

  • ZERO FATIGUE

    Live and file-based

    The same engine captions a live channel and a mezzanine file, including MXF integration for cloud production workflows.

  • FLEET SCALE

    Ensemble accuracy

    Multiple ASR models compete per language and the best output wins, instead of betting your compliance record on one model.

Modular switchable extensions

Runs where you run

Every Sense runs on private local AI models, on your hardware or in your cloud account. Nothing is sent to a third-party inference service, ever. Deployments range from a single GPU server to a rack, sized to your channel count. We spec the hardware with your engineering team before anything ships.
