Welcome to the Kalima blog
A look at what we ship, what we learn, and how teams use live transcription and translation to work better together.
Kalima turns live conversations into text you can read, search, and translate as they happen. This blog is where we share the work behind that: new releases, the lessons we pick up along the way, and the ways teams put live transcription and translation to work.
What you'll find here
- Product updates: new features and improvements as they ship.
- Use-case stories: how meetings, sales, support, healthcare, and creator teams use Kalima day to day.
- Behind the scenes: engineering deep dives on latency, accuracy, and multilingual workflows.
Why now
Live transcription used to feel like a novelty. Now teams expect captions, transcripts, and translations to simply be there, the way spell-check and autosave are. Our job is to make that dependable: fast enough to keep up with the conversation, and private enough for the talks that actually matter.
More soon. We ship often.
Try Kalima on your next call.
Live transcription and translation, no bot in the meeting. Free to start.
