Amplify access with captioning
Captioning services create inclusive environments by converting spoken language into real-time text. Our professional captionists can seamlessly integrate into your Zoom meetings, accessing the back end of Zoom so that captions appear directly within the Zoom window. Additionally, remote captioning services are available with a simple setup on your end. Captions can also be displayed on a screen at your event, ensuring accessibility for all participants.
During meetings, trainings, presentations, or conferences, the captionist types out everything being said in real-time to ensure full inclusivity. Individual captioning is available on personal devices such as laptops or tablets when a unique URL is provided.
Upon advance request, a transcript can be made available to you following your event.
Captioning services benefit:
-
Individuals with diagnosed hearing loss, with or without hearing aids
-
Individuals experiencing hearing loss who do not yet have a diagnosis or use hearing aids
-
English language learners who may struggle with spoken English
-
Individuals with ADD/ADHD
-
Individuals who process information better visually than auditorily
-
Individuals with auditory processing barriers
Many people use captioning when watching streaming platforms at home, yet often we do not think to request captioning services for an event we are attending. Yet if it was available, a great many people would use it.
Whether you are an individual in need of captioning or an event organizer striving for a fully inclusive environment, captioning services make all the difference. We are here to coordinate all your captioning needs, ensuring your event is inclusive and fully accessible for all participants.
