What is OpenWord?

OpenWord is a real-time transcription and translation platform designed for live events. It uses AI-powered speech-to-text and translation to let attendees follow along in their own language on their mobile device.

How it works: A speaker's audio is transcribed in real-time then instantly translated into the attendee's chosen language. Attendees simply scan a QR code with their mobile camera — no app download, no account creation, no special equipment needed.

Key features:

  • 170+ translation languages with 50+ source languages for transcription
  • Real-time transcription and translation in seconds
  • QR code access — works in any mobile browser, no app required
  • Custom branding — your logo, colours, and welcome message
  • Live captions for deaf and hard-of-hearing attendees
  • Multiple concurrent sessions (Pro and Enterprise plans)
  • Audio streaming from the control panel to attendees
  • Transcript saving for post-event records
  • GDPR compliant — audio processed in real-time, not stored by default
  • Low bandwidth — uses less data than streaming music

Who it's for:

  • Churches and places of worship (50% discount)
  • Charities and non-profits (50% discount)
  • Conferences and trade shows
  • Corporate meetings and all-hands
  • Universities, schools, and graduation ceremonies
  • Community groups and town halls

Pricing:

  • Free Trial: 10 minutes, no credit card required
  • Basic: £14/month (£7 for charities/churches) + usage credits
  • Standard: £28/month (£14 for charities/churches) + usage credits — includes custom branding
  • Pro: £44/month (£22 for charities/churches) — 3 concurrent sessions
  • Enterprise: Custom pricing — unlimited sessions, priority support
  • Credits: £1.22 each (£0.61 for charities) — 1 credit = 30 minutes transcription or translation to one language
  • No long-term contracts. Cancel anytime. Credits roll over.

How it compares to traditional interpretation:

  • No interpretation booths or equipment needed
  • No trained interpreters to hire
  • Setup in minutes, not days
  • Fraction of the cost
  • Supports 170+ languages simultaneously, not just 2-3
