New Voyavox from Link Electronics with Real-Time Speech-to-Text Captioning to be Featured in NAB Booth #W2910

Link Electronics introduces the Voyavox automated captioning device for real-time speech-to-text captioning for fast-paced broadcasting environments in NAB Booth #W2910. With advanced speech recognition capabilities and an average latency under 5 seconds, this unique technology transforms spoken word into clear, accurate text almost instantly, so that broadcast or streamed programming includes fast and accurate captioning. Voyavox efficiently handles a variety of speaking styles, accents, and pacing with ease, making it ideal for programming of all types including live events. With unrivaled accuracy of 95%, there are fewer errors, better viewer comprehension of messaging, and a more polished broadcast experience. It is ideal for live sports, news, political coverage, fast-paced commentary, religious services, streaming environments, regular programming, and more.

Voyavox helps broadcasters meet FCC captioning requirements while also expanding their audience reach to include viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing. Real-time, on-device speech-to-text ensures that content remains accessible during live segments without requiring cloud based captioning services or post-production editing. By embedding accessibility directly into the broadcast workflow, Voyavox makes it easier to consistently deliver inclusive content for any format or setting.

How it Works

The Voyavox receives audio through a USB connection to the Orion encoder or via a 3.5mm audio jack. With a Graphical User Interface (GUI), users can remote into the system from anywhere on their network. While the Voyavox is typically located in the control room, it can be accessed from virtually anywhere, providing users with unparalleled freedom of movement. An easy-to-use user interface allows users to start and stop captioning with the push of a button, or have the system set on a continuous loop, providing captioning 24/7 without interference.

The unit comes preset with standard audio and caption data outputs for Link Electronics encoders, making setup for the device quick and efficient. Voyavox is made in the USA and backed by 1-year warranty and free 24/7 customer support.
