Colleges Use AI to Translate, Caption Commencement Ceremonies

General News

Summary

Colleges are using AI-powered captioning and translation tools to improve accessibility at large campus events such as commencements and orientations. SUNY Oswego adopted Wordly to replace delayed livestream captions with live, smartphone-based translations that attendees can access by QR code. USC has also used AI translation to support multilingual event access and fill gaps where human translators are harder to coordinate. The article notes that accuracy remains a concern, but schools are still finding practical value in these tools for large in-person gatherings.
