Every voice heard.
Every language understood.
Real-time AI speech translation and captioning for UK organisations — so everyone in the room can follow along, in their own language, on their own device.
Your audience should never have to struggle to keep up
Whether you are running a town hall, a client conference, a training session, or a public forum, the moment someone cannot follow what is being said, you have lost them.
Sorenson Forum delivers real-time captioning and AI speech translation directly to every participant's own phone or laptop — no specialist equipment, no pre-booking, no separate CART service. Just a QR code and a session PIN.
It works in person, remotely, and for hybrid audiences. British English is fully supported alongside 25+ other languages and 45 dialects.
Get started
Give every participant their own great experience
Sorenson Forum puts the control in the hands of each individual in the room — no matter who they are or what language they speak.
25+ Languages
Translate and caption in the world's most widely spoken languages, including 45 dialects. British English fully supported.
Personalisation
Each attendee selects their own preferred language and follows along with captions or translated audio on their own device.
Cost-Effective
A fraction of the cost of traditional CART services — with no specialist equipment to hire and no advance scheduling required.
Two-Way Communication
Translation works in both directions — your audience can respond, not just listen. A real conversation, not a monologue.
Watch engagement come alive
When everyone in the room can understand what is being said, in their own language, you will see it on their faces immediately.

Yes. Real-time captioning is core to Sorenson Forum and makes spoken content immediately accessible on screen. Sorenson has over 20 years of experience serving the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community in the UK through Sign Video, and Forum extends that commitment to multilingual and hearing-impaired audiences in enterprise settings.
Yes. The host can access a full transcript of the session in every language that was used by participants. These can be downloaded and shared after the event — useful for follow-up, compliance, and record keeping.
A professional-grade microphone or a headset with an integrated microphone delivers the best accuracy. For large events with PA systems, connecting to the audio feed directly gives the clearest results. For smaller meetings, a quality headset or lapel mic works well. The built-in microphone on a laptop or phone is sufficient for smaller, quieter settings.
