Widen public participation
Residents follow council meetings and consultations in their language from the public gallery or a live stream at home.
Use case
Public meetings the whole community can follow
Civic meetings belong to everyone they serve. BabelStone helps public bodies include residents who speak other languages, live and on the record.
Public-sector meetings often carry a duty to be accessible to a diverse community. Live captioning widens participation, and multilingual transcripts support transparency and the public record.
Keep it on the record
Multilingual transcripts support minutes, the public record and follow-up in the languages your community speaks.
Kept on infrastructure you control
Self-hosting keeps meeting audio and transcripts within systems the authority governs.
Frequently asked questions
