[SBE] Real-Time Closed Captioning

[Mike Langner]

I work extensively in the deaf/hard-of-hearing community - having a 45 dB
hearing loss myself!  We use actual live persons who can/usually are be at a
remote location - they use a converted stenotype machine to real-time
caption meetings we hold with deaf persons.  They're absolutely amazing! We
Skype our conference room table audio to the transcriber - the captioning
comes back in real time via the/an Internet Broadband connection.

 

To learn more, I suggest you call the Executive Director of a local
non-profit organization for which I'm a Board member.

She'll be very helpful.  Please use my name.

Your contact? Romy Pierce at ATS Resources, (505) 222-0608.

The services she can recommend will likely cost lots less than an investment
in hardware and software - and is a completely "on demand" service!

Here's a description from one web site:

Realtime Closed Captioning: Realtime closed captions are performed by a
highly skilled stenographer called a realtime captioner. The captioner
utilizes captioning software that formats the realtime text into captions
and sends it via a modem or cable to an encoder.


Good luck!

Mike

Any voice recognition software/hardware combo people trust?  Most of the
content is live presentations that need to be captioned in real time for HD
closed circuit broadcast.

Thanks.

Jeremy
