IBM's Watson Captioning Live is an
AI-driven real-time closed captioning
system which is designed to be easily

hardware. Customers pay only for the
captioning minutes they use. After
installation and training, Watson
Captioning Live requires minimal
supervision.

projects that had been brought to a
standstill.
