>> Hello,
>> I have been working with San Fransisco Opera to get accessible super titles for about 2 years now and I just got back from seeing the opera and using their brand new super title reading device!
>> You go to the opera house and at the cote check you ask for the accessible super title device. They will take your ID and give you a little device with headphones plugged into it. They have the skull bone headphones, so they rest on your cheekbones. I didn't like those, so I just plugged in my own headphones.
>> I had the volume about a 20th of a turn from being off and it was still a little lowd, so if you are hard of hearing, you will have no problem hearing the accessible subtitles!
>> They have actually become rather popular, so they have lots of them if a group of people wanted them. The voice is not bad to listen to either. It is a mail voice and may be the man tts from Voice Over.
>> This makes going to the Opera so nice, so if you have been to the Opera before and didn't like it, it is a totally different ball game with the super titles!
>> Thank you,
