Wordly for Theater

Make your shows more inclusive by adding live translation into dozens of languages powered by AI with Wordly for Theater.

Make Theater Shows More Inclusive

Most theater shows have attendees whose native language is different from the language spoken at performances. Some theaters have tried providing human interpreters to address this issue, but that solution is too expensive and complicated for most organizations to implement.

Wordly solved this problem with our AI real-time translation solution. Now you can address the multi-language challenge for live theater performances or any other live events where attendees speak multiple native languages.

How Wordly Solves Theater Translation Challenges

  • Traditional theater translation solutions rely on human interpreters. It requires two interpreters per language since they need to take regular breaks. It also requires the use of special sound booths and listening devices. You need to survey the audience ahead of the performance to determine which languages you need to schedule interpreters for. This makes the solution difficult to manage and very expensive.
  • Wordly developed the industry's first 100% live AI-powered translation platform - providing a fast, easy, and affordable solution for today's global, multilingual, virtual world. Wordly is powered by AI and does not require human interpreters or special equipment. Wordly provides live translation for dozens of languages and they are all available on demand - meaning you don’t need to plan ahead - or risk paying for an interpreter and later finding out nobody needed that language.

Expand Your Audience and Ticket Sales - By enabling people to easily participate in the language of their choice, you can expand your audience and ticket sales.
