RTS AV recently deployed a live subtitling solution for a press annex at a major public inquiry. The system provided real-time captions to support media representatives and improve accessibility.
Public inquiries require clear and accurate communication at all times. In addition, press annex environments often need direct access to proceedings without disrupting the main hearing room. Therefore, reliable audio distribution and subtitling are essential.
To meet this requirement, RTS AV implemented a Cabolo subtitling solution. Cabolo uses built-in AI to generate live subtitles from audio without relying on cloud services. As a result, the system maintains data security while delivering real-time transcription.
The system processed incoming audio feeds from the inquiry and generated subtitles instantly. These captions were then displayed within the press annex, allowing journalists to follow proceedings clearly. In practice, this improved both accessibility and understanding, particularly in complex or fast-paced discussions.
Accuracy and reliability were key considerations. Public inquiry content often includes technical language, multiple speakers and extended sessions. Therefore, the system needed to maintain consistent performance throughout daily operation.
Cabolo’s offline operation also supported the secure nature of the environment. Audio and transcription data remained within the local system at all times. As a result, the solution aligned with the strict data handling requirements of the inquiry.
Ease of deployment was another advantage. The system integrated with existing AV infrastructure and required minimal user intervention. This allowed the press annex to operate independently while maintaining a direct link to live proceedings.
RTS AV brings over 30 years of practical experience delivering and supporting AV systems. Our team works across public sector, corporate, financial, legal and film studio environments. AVIXA-certified staff ensure systems are delivered to recognised industry standards.
As public inquiries continue to prioritise transparency and accessibility, live subtitling plays an increasingly important role. Ultimately, solutions like Cabolo enable secure, real-time access to information in demanding environments.
