The Accessibility Challenge

In public sector events, accessibility is more than a checkbox — it’s a necessity. At the Government Innovation Showcase Federal 2025 in Ottawa, Loom Analytics took on a bold challenge: help create a truly bilingual, inclusive, and accessible experience for a multilingual audience.

With over 1,500 attendees representing Canadian federal departments, provincial institutions, and municipal governments, the event reflected the linguistic duality of the country. English and French were spoken interchangeably throughout keynotes, panels, and networking sessions — often within the same sentence.

Our mission:

• Deliver real-time transcription and bilingual captioning during live sessions

• Comply with accessibility and data security regulations

• Showcase how AI-powered tools like Claudio Live can bridge communication gaps

The Solution: Real-Time Accessibility with Claudio Live

We deployed Claudio Live — our AI-powered transcription and translation platform — to deliver:

🗣️ Bilingual Captioning, in Real Time

Using bilingual transcription profiles, Claudio Live captured and transcribed mixed English-French speech accurately within the same conversation — no switching, no confusion. Attendees could read live captions on-screen in the language being spoken, making it easier for bilingual viewers and hearing-impaired participants to follow the discussion.

“It was powerful to watch both languages appear naturally on screen as the speakers talked. No switching feeds or missing context.”

Multilingual Translation & Support

Beyond English and French, Claudio Live also supported Spanish — a key benefit for departments serving Canada’s multicultural population. With support for over 30 languages, Claudio is ready to scale accessibility beyond borders.

Built-In Compliance & Data Privacy

We demonstrated Claudio Live’s compliance with HIPAA, PIPEDA, and GDPR standards. This mattered to public sector attendees concerned about where their data is processed and stored. With regional server control, Claudio meets the high standards required for secure government workflows.

How It Worked — Live on the Floor

• Live Booth Demos: Attendees watched Claudio Live transcribe and translate conversations in real time — seeing mixed-language speech converted instantly into captions.

• Mainstage Accessibility: During CEO Mona Datt’s bilingual presentation, Claudio delivered live captions and translations to the main event screens — creating an inclusive experience for all.

• Conversations with Leaders: Our team — including Mona Datt (CEO), Valentina Tovar (Chief of Staff), Varaha (Lead Developer), and Abhay Chauhan (Marketing) — engaged with dozens of government leaders on how Claudio can streamline internal communications and accessibility mandates.

Results: Real Impact on Accessibility

• Inclusive Access: Mixed-language content was fully accessible with accurate real-time captions.

• Support for Hearing-Impaired Attendees: Captions helped participants with hearing challenges fully engage.
