# Spalk

> Spalk is a cloud broadcast localisation platform for live sport. It carries feeds from venue to viewer: managed contribution transport, remote commentary production in 50+ languages, cloud master control, live captioning with AI translation, multi-destination distribution, and broadcast monitoring. The platform has delivered 90,000+ live broadcasts across 30+ sports.

Spalk serves rights holders, leagues, federations and broadcasters. Capabilities can be used together as a full chain or adopted individually. Production is browser-based, with a desktop application for commentators on unreliable networks. A public REST API lets scheduling and rights systems drive the platform directly.
