Our live captioning services provide full and equal access for all participants and help ensure compliance with the ADA. PRI’s highly trained stenographers can attend in-person events or join your event remotely and provide instantaneous, accurate captioning. We can connect to a number of popular videoconference platforms including Zoom, Webex, Blackboard, Teams, and many others.
Schedule TodayCommunication Access Realtime Translation (CART) and live captioning solutions can be essential for a person with hearing loss. This service provides an individual with full and equal access to meetings, classes, lectures, interviews, medical appointments, and many other settings. CART and captioning can also be very beneficial to those whose first language is not English.
Captioning and CART are methods of speech-to-text translation. Both are accomplished by having an experienced court reporter or stenographer listening and taking down what is being said and transmitting the text feed to various formats of output for the person(s) in attendance. That may involve simply a personal laptop, an overhead projector (for a full room), or an encoder for captioning.
PRI provided the first full-time live captioning on TV in Ohio for WCMH-4 in 1990 and was also the first in the state to provide CART for a deaf student at Columbus State Community College in 1992. PRI has continued to offer this service for colleges throughout Ohio including The Ohio State University, Franklin University, Capital Law School, Columbus State Community College, Denison University, University of Cincinnati, Marion Technical College, and Ohio Dominican.
Educational CART is an excellent tool for students of all ages. This service can be provided in person or remotely, allowing the student to participate fully in their classes and ensuring they are receiving the same learning opportunities.
PRI can also provide integrated captioning and video on different platforms, working with your AV/tech team to get the result you’re looking for.
