Akkadu

Akkadu provides AI-powered live captions and translations that work with virtual meetings, events, and live streams. It supports captions in over 90 languages and is designed for professionals who need real-time language access in meetings, webinars, and streams. The tool is available as a software application that users install on their computer and use to generate captions from audio. It emphasizes privacy, security, and compatibility with multiple platforms, aiming to fit into existing meeting workflows without adding external components to the call.

Akkadu's workflow centers on capturing audio from the user's device and producing real-time translations and captions. It offers a choice of translation engines, and lets users tailor accuracy through accents and custom glossaries. The system operates at the user's computer, avoiding a separate translator bot in meetings, and can produce captions across various scenarios from desktop calls to streaming setups.

The tool highlights several core capabilities: selecting AI translation engines for accuracy, recognizing speaker accents to improve translation, uploading custom terminology to guarantee correct translations, and applying safety filters to avoid sensitive or profane terms. It also provides visual customization options for captions and supports link sharing for viewing translations in browsers. It markets itself as a real-time translation solution for meetings, events, and streams.

Akkadu states it offers flexible pricing options, including pay-as-you-go and monthly plans, with enterprise pricing available by contacting sales. It supports Windows and macOS with downloadable applications, and claims compatibility with any video conference platform, as well as streaming and phone call integrations.
