The Problem with TradiÂtional Subtitles
If you’ve ever watched live broadÂcasts with subtitles, you’ve likely noticed delays, errors, and missing context. TradiÂtional subtiÂtling systems were designed for pre-recorded content, meaning they struggle with real-time accuracy, multiple languages, and metadata like speaker identiÂfiÂcation or sentiment analysis of audio streams. Further the description and accesÂsiÂbility of the visual content was never focused in those systems.
That’s where Aiconix Metadata Transport (AMT) comes in.
What is AMT?
Aiconix Metadata Transport (AMT) is an AI-driven protocol that enables live transcription, subtiÂtling, and transÂlation for real-time media appliÂcaÂtions. It provides a low-latency, highly accurate, and metadata-rich approach to handling subtitles—making it ideal for live events, streaming, and multiÂlingual broadÂcasts.
Unlike static subtitle formats like WebVTT or SRT, AMT doesn’t just display subtitles — it processes, enhances, synchroÂnizes and enriches them them in real-time using artificial intelÂliÂgence.
How AMT Works
AMT strucÂtures speech-to-text, transÂlaÂtions, and metadata into a streamÂlined system, ensuring that every spoken word is processed with maximum precision and minimal delay.

How AMT is already used in Live Transcription
AMT is currently being used to power live subtitle editing and multiÂlingual transÂlaÂtions. First customers are using in in their Workflows.
Live Subtitles Editing:
- AMT sends real-time “partial” transcripÂtions to human editors, allowing them to make correcÂtions before the subtitles are published.
- This means that subtitles can be corrected on the fly, unlike static captions that are locked once generated.
AI-Powered Live TransÂlaÂtions:
- AMT transÂlates subtitles in real time, allowing broadÂcasters to offer instant multiÂlingual subtitles for live events.
- Every transÂlated segment retains metadata, ensuring speaker identiÂfiÂcation and sentence structure are preserved.
The result? Better accuracy, faster updates, and multiÂlingual accesÂsiÂbility — all in real time.
How AMT Works Behind the Scenes
Step 1: Transcription & Metadata Capture
- AMT processes live audio streams and converts speech into text in real time.
- AI enhances it with speaker identiÂfiÂcation, sentiment analysis, and object recogÂnition.
Step 2: AI-Powered TransÂlation
- Subtitles are instantly transÂlated into multiple languages while retaining word alignment.
Step 3: Live Editing & Publishing
- Editors can correct transcripÂtions before they appear on-screen.
- Final subtitles are pushed live with precise timing to match speech.
Step 4: Seamless Integration into Streaming Workflows
- AMT delivers subtitles via HTTP POST, ensuring low-latency streaming support.
- Metadata is strucÂtured in JSON format, making it easy to integrate with existing platforms.
