SyncWords, a privately owned company headquartered in the US, was founded in 2013 and employs approximately 30 individuals, reporting $2.4M in revenue as of 2024. The company specializes in media managed services, offering a cloud-based software solution that includes auto-transcription, closed caption authoring and editing, live translation, automatic positioning of on-screen text, and automatic alignment of text to speech.
On August 26, 2026, SyncWords and Capella Systems announced an integrated live-streaming workflow enabling AI-generated captions and multilingual subtitles for broadcast and OTT infrastructure. This solution combines SyncWords’ real-time AI captioning and translation with Capella Systems’ Cambria Stream live encoder, converting DVB-TTML subtitles for OTT delivery. Previously, on August 24, 2026, SyncWords partnered with Signapse to integrate near real-time automatic American Sign Language (ASL) into the SyncWords platform, allowing for the addition of a photorealistic ASL signer to existing live caption and subtitle workflows without specialized hardware or a separate production chain. This follows SyncWords’ collaboration with StreamVX on June 26, 2026, to establish an end-to-end AI subtitle pipeline for live broadcast and OTT, automating the connection of AI captions to playout infrastructure.
SyncWords's customers primarily consist of broadcast television and radio and translation and Localization companies. Examples of SyncWords's customers include Lionbridge, Viacom and CBS News. SyncWords has partners like Kaltura.
