Languages
Two hundred languages for captions, one hundred and five that can be recognised as the language being spoken, and sixteen with a synthesised voice. The difference matters, so here it is up front.

On quality, honestly
Not every language works equally well. Recognition and translation are
stronger for languages with a lot of material behind them than for
languages with less. That is true of every system in this category,
including those that do not mention it.
If your event depends on a specific language, we will test it with your
own audio before you commit. That costs nothing but time and it is a much
better way to find out than during the keynote.
Scripts
Scripts break in different ways. Devanagari needs conjuncts joined, Thai
has no spaces between words, Arabic runs right to left and changes letter
shapes by position, Vietnamese stacks two marks on one vowel. We ship the
fonts and per-script line spacing rather than hoping the venue's computer has
them. A projector showing empty boxes is a failed event.
Make your next event understood.
Tell us about the room, the audience and the languages. We do the rest.
