SyncWords Live AI Captioning Launches on AWS Marketplace
SyncWords, a leader in AI-powered live captioning and translation, is now available on AWS Marketplace. For AWS customers, that means quick access to reliable tools built for live streams and events—without extra hoops. Pricing is straightforward with per-minute options and flexible bulk packages, so you can start small, scale fast, and pay in a way that fits your workflow.
Built for AWS Elemental
SyncWords is engineered to work hand in glove with AWS Elemental services, delivering real-time captions, subtitles, and audio translations powered by generative AI. It supports HLS workflows via AWS Elemental MediaLive and MediaPackage, and SRT workflows through AWS MediaConnect, giving broadcasters a dependable path no matter the transport. Compatibility with Amazon IVS enables low-latency video delivery, while automatic captions and translations in over 100 languages help expand audience reach and meet accessibility regulations—without slowing the stream.
Advanced Features, Practical Gains
Running across AWS’s global regions, SyncWords scales as far as your event requires. Real-time captioning, subtitling, and dubbing fit high-pressure use cases like live sports and news, where timing and multilingual output really matter. Customizable ASR dictionaries and translation glossaries let you lock in brand names, terms of art, and style preferences, improving accuracy in ways that reflect your exact needs.
Why SyncWords Stands Out
Built on Kubernetes (K8s), SyncWords is fully cloud-based—no on-site hardware, no restrictive licensing, no ceiling on growth. Spin up an unlimited number of concurrent live streams and keep quality steady as you scale. With real-time captions feeding instant translations and subtitles, you can choose configurations that keep latency minimal for SRT streams when every second counts.
Ready for Broadcast Standards
SyncWords aligns with core broadcast requirements out of the box. It supports a range of framerates and video formats, passes through SCTE-35 markers to enable ad insertions, and works with HEVC (H.265) for efficient bandwidth use. The result: preserved video quality and flexible delivery, a strong fit for international broadcasts and diverse distribution needs.
Proven at Scale
In partnership with AWS Elemental, SyncWords has supported major events, including high-profile international competitions—delivering more than 13,000 hours of live closed captions in multiple languages. During major sports broadcasts, this integration has helped widen viewership. One example: organizations like Real Madrid have used the AWS Elemental framework to bring translated live coverage to larger audiences.
