Using the Real-time Management room for AI languages
This section is part of the AI Live Streaming Manual. It explains how to use the Real-time Management room for events with AI captions and speech.
If you want to to use the _Real-time Management room to manage remote interpreters and/or subtitlers, see this guide.
Entering the room
To access the Real-time Management room, you must be logged in as an administrator in Clevercast.
You can find a link to the Real-time Management room on the event's Caption Languages and Audio Languages tabs. Enter your name (for the text chat) and press 'Connect' to enter the room.
You only have access to the room if the event status is Preview, Started or Paused.
If the broadcast is running, you should see the incoming stream in the video player and green check marks for both stream and text. If this isn't the case, refresh your page and try again.
Real-time player
On the left side of the page, the real-time player plays the incoming video stream without delay.
This differs from the embedded player and the (preview + public) players on the event page, in which the live stream is served with the delay experienced by your viewers.
Pausing AI Captions and Speech
The 'Pause AI Captions and Speech' button allows you to temporarily stop the AI closed captions and speech translations while you are broadcasting. If you press this button, speech-to-text conversion will temporarily stop, and no AI minutes will be charged.
Use the real-time player on this page to determine when to press the pause and resume button. Since the stream in the embedded player (e.g. the preview player on the event page) is delayed, you'll have to wait to see the result.
This is useful during testing, so no AI minutes are lost before the actual stream. You are free to start and stop the AI captions and speech at any time, but make sure they are enabled before the start of your actual event.
Note that a corrector can start and stop captions too, in the correction room. This is useful, for example, while music is playing and you don't want the resulting captions in your live stream. This pause button does work differently in the backend, as AI minutes will still be charged.
Changing the active speech-to-text language
If a live streams has speakers in different languages, this lets you manually select the speech-to-text language, or enable automatic detection of the speech-to-text language. This requires that 'Allow changing the active speech-to-text language during the event' has been set to 'Yes' on the 'Caption languages' tab of the 'Event page'.
Use the real-time player on this page to determine when to manually change the speech-to-text language. Since the stream in the embedded player (e.g. the preview player on the event page) is delayed, you'll have to wait to see the result.
You can also set the speech-to-text language detection to 'Automatic'. This way, Clevercast will try to detect the language spoken in the live stream and change the speech-to-text conversion when necessary. The label above the button indicates the currently detected language.
Text chat
The text chat allows you to communicate with real-time correctors (if any).
The tabs let you choose which rooms to chat with. If you select ‘All rooms’ your messages will be sent to everyone present.
The 'Other Participants' window shows who is available to chat with. For each corrector, there is a 'Pause AI Captions and Speech' button which allows you to pause the AI captions and speech temporarily (but AI minutes will still be charged when using this button).
