Vivi Live Captions

Every Word Matters.

For Every Student. In Every Classroom.

Vivi Live Captions is a new add-on to your Vivi subscription. It turns spoken instruction into live captions on the classroom display, and into captions, translation or audio on the device of any student who needs them. It runs on the Vivi box already behind your display, so there’s nothing new to install. Add it to your subscription and switch it on room by room.

One lesson, on the display and in students' hands

On the classroom display

Vivi mirrors any app on the teacher's screen and lays live captions of the spoken lesson over the top. Captions appear in under a second, using the classroom's existing microphones.

On every student's device

Students who need a different language get their own translated captions, in 75+ languages, without leaving the room.

New

Captions they can hear. Students tap any caption line to hear it on their own device, in the original language or their translation. Teachers switch it on per session.

Built for the students who need it, useful for everyone else

Who it helps
What changes

Students with hearing challenges

An accommodation met in the room itself, on the main display, in under a second.

Whole-class comprehension

Research

In a randomized study, students learning from captioned content did better at defining new words and drawing inferences than peers who saw the same content uncaptioned.*

Students learning the language of instruction

The same lesson, the same day, in a language they read fluently. No pull-out program.

Assemblies and family engagement

Captions and translation on the big screen, plus a transcript, so events reach families who speak other languages.

An upgrade, not a deployment

Live Captions is an upgrade to the Vivi you already run. Nothing new to install, and no change to how anyone teaches.
