ProdCom is a powerful real-time voice intelligence and control platform for live production environments. Free to download. An active subscription is required to access all app functionality. No functional features are available without an active subscription. Built by industry professionals, ProdCom turns voice communication into clear visual transcripts so nothing gets missed in loud or fast-paced situations. Monitor engineers can handle multiple mix requests at once, FOH engineers can mute their shout speaker or take off their comm headset and continue to communicate, and show callers can efficiently respond to simultaneous requests coming at them on their panel. FEATURES (Active Subscription Required) Multi-Channel Visual Transcription Convert multiple audio inputs into real-time, color-coded visual transcripts that can be used alongside voice communication or as a standalone solution. The number of available transcription channels varies by device. Channels & Groups Create individual channels for each audio input, with custom names and colors for instant recognition. Type messages directly into any channel for hybrid voice-and-text communication—ideal when you need to send a quick note without speaking. Organize channels into groups to view multiple speakers as a single, unified conversation. Customizable Layouts Design flexible layouts that match your workflow, using chat-style views or floating windows for individual channels or groups to maintain constant visual awareness. Keywords & Automations Highlight critical words automatically within transcripts. Create keywords instantly from selected transcript text, or customize them with colors, text replacement, or emojis. Build powerful automations using keyword detection, MIDI triggers, and in-app actions. OSC Control Send and receive Open Sound Control (OSC) messages over IP to integrate with lighting desks, media servers, and other production equipment. Trigger OSC commands with your voice through keyword automations, or use incoming OSC messages to control ProdCom—connecting your entire production workflow. Language & Translation Support Use any macOS/iOS On-Device Dictation language for speech processing—globally, per channel, or per group. Enable instant translation of any channel into your preferred language directly within ProdCom. Visual Alerts Unread indicators notify you when new transcripts occur outside your current view, while missed keyword indicators alert you when important words are detected but not visible. Etiquette Controls Optionally hide offensive language automatically.
