Meet InnoCaption Bot: A New Way to Caption Virtual Meetings

Whether you're presenting to colleagues, attending a virtual class, or participating in an online discussion, captions can make or break your ability to stay fully engaged — especially if you’re deaf or hard of hearing. Unfortunately, built-in captioning tools may fall short: they can be inaccurate, hard to follow, or disappear entirely when you switch views.

That’s why we created InnoCaption Bot, a powerful new feature designed to bring seamless, customizable captioning to your virtual meetings.

What Is InnoCaption Bot?

InnoCaption Bot is a virtual captioning assistant that joins your online meeting as a silent participant, delivering real-time, AI-generated captions in a separate browser window. This allows you to clearly follow the conversation while keeping your main screen free of visual clutter.

The InnoCaption Bot is compatible with major video conferencing platforms, including:

Whether you're hosting or attending, InnoCaption Bot gives you the ability to access captions independently. In some cases, the meeting host may need to admit the Bot based on platform settings.

Note: InnoCaption Bot is currently available through InnoCaption Web, so you’ll need to use it on a desktop browser. 

Why We Created It

Many virtual platforms either lack built-in captioning or rely on auto-generated captions that are often inaccurate and inconsistent. We heard from users who wanted something better: a flexible, platform-agnostic solution that delivers dependable captions on their terms.

InnoCaption Bot was built to meet that need. Designed for deaf and hard of hearing professionals, students, and anyone seeking a more reliable captioning experience, the InnoCaption Bot reflects our commitment to providing accessible, intuitive tools that enhance communication — no matter where you are.

How to Use InnoCaption Bot

Getting started is easy:

  1. Log in to InnoCaption Web
  2. Copy your video conference meeting URL
  3. Paste it into InnoCaption Web
  4. The InnoCaption Bot will join your meeting and provide real-time captions with speaker identification

No downloads. No complicated setup. Just easy, user-controlled access.

Best Use Cases

InnoCaption Bot is ideal for:

  • Professionals attending virtual meetings, webinars, or presentations
  • Students participating in online lectures, classes, or study groups
  • Attendees using platforms with limited or no captioning options
  • Multitaskers and visual learners who prefer captions on a second screen

Key Features & Benefits

  • Real-time captions in a dedicated browser window — no overlays, no distractions
  • Speaker identification with color coding — easily follow group conversations
  • Live caption sharing — send a secure link to other attendees; no login or software required
  • Cross-platform compatibility with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Webex
  • No software installation required, accessible via any modern desktop browser
  • Free to eligible users in the U.S., funded by the FCC through the Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS) program
  • Enhanced independence and privacy, with user-controlled captions separate from the host

Your Meetings, Your Captions — On Your Terms

InnoCaption Bot gives you more than just captions — it puts accessibility back in your hands. Whether you're leading a team, joining a virtual class, or participating in a group discussion, you deserve consistent, high-quality captioning without relying on others or struggling with unreliable tools.

Try it today and caption your meetings the way that works for you.
