Pockitle QR code live captions
Make It Easy to Join with QR Code Live Captions
Make it easy for the audience to follow with Pockitle QR code live captions: one spoken source language becomes original captions and up to three translations, then one scan opens them in the phone browser. No audience app is required.
Where QR code live captions fit
- Talks, panels, workshops, lectures, tours, and theatre talkbacks.
- Events where audience members are allowed to use their phones.
- Rooms with a clear front-of-house route for displaying the QR code.
- Events using one spoken source language and no more than three translations.
Where this may not fit
- Venues that prohibit phones or cannot provide an alternative shared display.
- Events that promise an offline audience-phone service.
- Source-language switching, sustained overlap, singing, or music-led programmes.
- Services requiring professional CART, guaranteed accuracy, or certified compliance.
Audience entry
The QR code opens the door; the audio drives the result
A QR code is only a convenient route to the audience page. The useful work still depends on one correctly selected spoken language, a clear dialogue feed, tested outputs, visible signage, and a fallback the front-of-house team understands.
Audience-phone workflow
- 1Choose the event's one spoken source language.
- 2Add up to three translated caption languages.
- 3Test the actual microphone or mixer feed.
- 4Create the audience link and place its QR code with a manual URL.
- 5Open the audience page on representative phones before doors open.
Offer another reading route
A venue screen can show one selected language while phones offer personal language choice. Plan both routes when a phone is not suitable for every audience member.
Treat the link as show information
Place the QR code where people can enter before the event begins, and include a short manual URL. Test the printed code at its real size and viewing distance.
