Novi, MI, May 29, 2025 – ENCO will showcase new AI innovations at InfoComm that add valuable dynamics to live event production and the audience experience, including two award-winning automated captioning and real-time translation solutions. In addition to a new speaker identification feature for ENCO’s enCaption systems, ENCO will demonstrate the power of enTranslate Mobile for delivering real-time translations to personal devices. Along with bringing BYOD accessibility and multilingual inclusivity to live events, the technology workflow shines through cloud, on-prem or hybrid, connectivity for live captioning.
ENCO will offer live demonstrations of enCaption presenting automated English captions on screens and sending them to a cloud environment for immediate translation to Spanish, French, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese and German. Attendees can access all six languages via enTranslate Mobile upon scanning a QR code on ENCO’s InfoComm booth (2870) and the FORTÉ booth (1742). FORTÉ specializes in the delivery and support of communications and collaboration solutions for AV and the modern workplace.
Introduced at NAB Show 2025 last month, enTranslate Mobile is a novel, disruptive solution to the challenge of making in-venue content accessible to every audience member, without the need to download or install an app. enTranslate mobile offers direct access to multilingual translations through QR codes that redirect users to a mobile- and browser-friendly website where captions populate. Users can choose from enTranslate Language Selector to access the text stream of what’s being said on their personal devices. Users can also scroll back in time to read what was said while viewing that language.
For large multilingual events such as city meetings or university lectures, enTranslate Mobile solves the problem of how to caption and translate what’s being said in the room, and in languages most common to attendees. enTranslate Mobile also benefits the facility hosting the event through a mobile-friendly alternative to erecting large translation screens for live group events. Meeting organizers can simply display QR codes on signs or walls in adjacent areas.
Captioning and Translation with Speaker ID
enTranslate Mobile is the latest application representing the latest for ENCO’s enTranslate product range, which automatically translates and captions words for meetings, presentations, live streams, VOD assets and live broadcasts. enTranslate solutions, including enTranslate Mobile, can be used separately or with ENCO’s market-leading enCaption solutions.
ENCO will also show the latest improvements in its enCaption solutions for real-time live stage captioning, including a dynamic AI voice fingerprinting solution that detects and identifies each speaker in live events with more than one contributor. The technology is delivered through a single-stream audio mix that dynamically identifies each speaker, a function which enCaption can pass through to translations powered through all enTranslate systems. enCaption identifies each speaker and then seamlessly inserts their names when identified, automatically labeling their captions and associated translations in real-time.
enCaption’s new speaker identification feature was also introduced at NAB Show 2025, taking home a Future Award from TV Technology; enTranslate Mobile received a Future Award from TVB Europe.
“In-room captioning and translation services are paramount to the live event experience because they enhance accessibility and improve engagement for diverse, multilingual audiences,” said Ken Frommert, President, ENCO. “We have steadily gained traction with integrators and technology directors who recognize ENCO’s leadership in delivering fast, accurate and accessible captioning and translation services to all audiences. This is the proven value we bring to AV environments.”
InfoComm runs June 11-13 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
