Could you keep up if every word was in a foreign language?
The Oscars move fast. Winners step onto the stage, jokes fly by, and fleeting moments of emotion happen in seconds. Following all of that in a language you don’t speak seems impossible, unless you have EventCAT.
This past March, audiences worldwide could watch the 97th Academy Awards with live, AI-powered subtitles, translating every speech, laugh, and heartfelt moment in real time. It wasn’t just translation, it was full immersion, letting viewers feel the excitement as it happened. The awards ceremony also served as a powerful attempt and opportunity to prove that EventCAT can deliver the same thrill of being on-site to viewers of different cultures and languages.
Feel the pulse of every moment
The Academy Awards are more than words. Every punchline counts. Missing even a single word can mean missing the emotion, the humor, or the surprise. EventCAT doesn’t just display subtitles, it follows the rhythm of the show. When a winner laughs, pauses, or gasps, the captions perfectly mirror that moment. Audiences didn’t just read the text; they felt the excitement, the tension, the joy, as if the Oscars were happening right in front of them, in their own language.
Caption Overlay: Subtitles that become part of the show
One of EventCAT’s standout features is Caption Overlay, a tool that transforms live subtitles into an integral part of your video. Instead of appearing separately or requiring extra software, captions are directly overlaid on the video, whether on a giant screen at a live event, personal devices, or online streams.

This feature ensures that every word, joke, and emotional beat is visible in real time, perfectly synchronized with the speakers’ timing and pauses. It’s especially useful for high-speed events like award shows, conferences, or live performances, where missing a single line could mean losing context or humor. Caption Overlay allows audiences to follow the show effortlessly, without distraction, keeping the experience seamless and immersive.
