The Challenge
In 2025, Axis hosted the grand Axis Solution Conference in Taipei, inviting international experts and partners to explore future industry trends and innovative applications. One of the keynote sessions was delivered in English and involved extensive technical terminology and cutting-edge industry insights, presenting a comprehension challenge for the Mandarin-speaking audience.
The keynote, titled "Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): What is the true cost of a security system?", was delivered by a speaker from Axis's Swedish headquarters, guiding the audience through an in-depth analysis of the TCO concept applied to video surveillance. Beyond the easily estimated initial investment, the total cost of a security system includes long-term operational expenses such as equipment maintenance, replacement, troubleshooting, power consumption, storage, and cybersecurity. Furthermore, often-underestimated management and monitoring costs typically account for the largest portion of overall expenditure. The speaker shared how utilizing the TCO methodology helps users identify these hidden costs, effectively reducing expenses while enhancing overall system quality and value.
To boost attendee engagement, the session incorporated real-time live polling and Q&A segments, helping participants understand the key factors of video security system TCO in an interactive and accessible way. Consequently, Axis required a stable, professional, and rapidly deployable real-time translation solution to ensure that on-site attendees could seamlessly participate in these interactions and fully comprehend the core messages of the keynote.
The Solution
Axis opted to deploy Vurbo.ai’s real-time subtitle translation solution. Powered by advanced AI speech recognition and translation technology, Vurbo.ai instantly generated Mandarin translations for the English keynote, displaying them via Floating Subtitles to flexibly adapt to the venue's visual setup.
