Several voices, one source language
Any number of people can participate, but a run does not automatically switch the spoken source language. The operator selects that language before listening begins.

Live Captions for Panels, Q&A, and Talkbacks
Pockitle captions a mixed dialogue feed in one spoken source language and can add up to three translations for the people following on phones or a shared screen.
Where panel and Q&A captions fit
- Moderated panels, artist conversations, post-show talkbacks, and audience Q&A.
- Several speakers who all use the same spoken source language.
- Rooms with a controlled microphone or mixer feed for every participant.
- Audiences using original captions, up to three translations, or both.
Where this may not fit
- Events that require automatic speaker names or verified verbatim attribution.
- Conversations with sustained cross-talk, distant unamplified voices, or frequent language switching.
- Interpreted audio, translated speech, dubbing, or post-production transcripts.
- Professional CART, certified accuracy, or an accessibility-compliance guarantee.
Conversation audio
Bring every speaker into one clear feed
Panels are harder than single-speaker talks because microphones move, voices differ, and people interrupt each other. Route every microphone into one controlled dialogue feed, keep the spoken source language fixed, and tell the audience that machine-generated captions can be delayed or wrong.
Panel workflow
- 1Confirm that every panelist will use the selected spoken language.
- 2Build one clear mixer feed from the moderator, panel, and audience microphones.
- 3Choose the original caption lane and up to three translations.
- 4Test handovers, quiet speakers, audience questions, and short interruptions.
- 5Share the audience link and monitor every promised language lane.
Overlap remains a real limit
When speakers talk over each other, both recognition and translation can lose context. A moderator who protects one-speaker-at-a-time turns is part of the technical plan.
Do not promise automatic attribution
Pockitle captions the live speech feed. It should not be described as a verified speaker-identification or verbatim meeting-record service.

Common questions
Can Pockitle caption several panelists?
Yes, if they use the same spoken source language and their microphones reach one clear dialogue feed.
Does Pockitle identify each speaker?
It should not be presented as verified automatic speaker attribution. It captions the speech received from the selected input.
What happens when people speak over each other?
Heavy overlap can reduce recognition and translation quality. Moderation and microphone practice are important parts of the setup.
Can the audience follow translations on their phones?
Yes. The event can offer the original captions and up to three selected translations through one audience link.
