Akkadu, built by Akkadu Technology, is a platform for breaking down language barriers in live and recorded settings. It listens to a speaker's audio and produces real-time AI live captions and subtitles in more than 90 languages, and can deliver an AI voice translation that voices a speaker's words in another language. Beyond automated transcription and translation, Akkadu also offers remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI), connecting human interpreters to events, plus human live captioning for higher-accuracy needs. It is available as a desktop and web-based application and is designed to work alongside common video conferencing tools such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and Google Meet, as well as on-site and hybrid events. The company states it does not store voice data and gives users control to delete transcripts. Akkadu targets event organizers, conferences, corporate meetings, universities, content creators, and language service providers who need multilingual accessibility. It is offered on a pay-as-you-go hourly model with a free limited demo tier.

The platform supports a large set of languages (over 100 across its products, with a smaller subset on the call product) and ingests common broadcast formats such as RTMP, HLS, SRT, and MP4, plus API-based workflows. Typical glass-to-glass latency is roughly 2.5 to 4 seconds.
