Stenomatic review
Voice interpretation, captions and translated audio, with self-service pricing by the minute.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Stenomatic provides real-time translation for conferences, video calls and other events. It combines voice-to-voice interpretation with translated live captions and audio streams, making it relevant to organizers who want attendees to choose how they follow an event. Browser-based access avoids requiring attendees to download an app, while API and iframe options can suit teams embedding translation in an existing event experience. Its self-service offer is aimed at organizers who want to start with usage-based pricing; event teams seeking more direct support can consider the one-off event plan.
The Self-service plan costs $1.25 per minute and includes pay-as-you-go minutes, 130+ languages and dialects, unlimited parallel tracks, unlimited speakers and participants, and free transcripts. The minute-based model ties the charge to usage rather than a fixed event fee, so organizers should estimate their expected translated duration when budgeting. One-off event and Enterprise plans use custom quotes. One-off event adds live support during the event, a dedicated account manager, audio setup guidance, glossary input support and unlimited audience size. Enterprise adds a PCI-compliant platform, gRPC streaming API and RTMP video upload, customized models, SSO and advanced access control.
The product's delivery options are a notable fit for varied event formats: it supports an iframe widget, gRPC, WebSocket and REST APIs, as well as RTMP video upload and streaming. Custom vocabulary and terminology support can help align translations with an event's subject matter. These integration choices may suit teams with technical resources or an established event platform; organizers looking for a fixed, published price should compare the quoted tiers with self-service. Stenomatic is a sensible candidate for events prioritizing live multilingual audio and captions, while its per-minute entry plan or quote-based higher tiers may be less suitable for teams that need a fixed, predictable package price.
