TALIC AI LiveTranscribe
AI LiveTranscribe turns speech into a live transcript with a real-time translation, so audiences can follow along even when a talk isn’t in their first language.
Real-time AI TranscriptionTranslationInterpretation
Real-time AI transcription & translation for lectures, seminars and events
Speak naturally. Follow along live.
As the speaker talks, their words appear on screen as a live transcript, with a real-time translation into a second language right beneath each line.
A fast first translation appears within moments, then is quietly refined as more context arrives. The result is a clean, line-by-line layout that’s easy to read at a glance, not the confusing text blocks you get from standard translation apps.

HKU context-aware knowledge base
Built-in HKU names, terms and abbreviations improve transcription and translation accuracy.
It understands what you mean
People say “HKU”, “港大”, “Hong Kong U” or “香港大學” — and they all mean the same place.
The built-in HKU knowledge base recognises names, abbreviations and all the different ways people refer to the same thing, so subject terms and campus names come out right in both the transcript and the translation.

A more inclusive, connected learning environment
TALIC AI LiveTranscribe aims to reduce language barriers in real time. International and multilingual students can follow lectures and discussions more easily, so they can focus on understanding, participating and learning rather than struggling with language alone.
It also encourages interaction between students and teachers from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds — in class discussions, group activities, seminars and events — while context-aware AI preserves the intended meaning of subject-specific terminology.
In the longer term, it helps students engage with different cultures, perspectives and ways of communicating, contributing to a more inclusive and internationally connected university community.
