[NFB-DB] closed captioning for Colorado's State convention

[Scott Davert]

Thank you for the reply, Doula!
 Be aware that if you plan to use Zoom captioning, slower braille readers will not be able to access the captions.  In braille, on iOS devices at least, you only get a couple of words at a time and there is no option to scroll backword or forward. This is why national is experimenting with the presidential releases so that they can find the best option for everyone. I, personally, can keep up with Zoom captioning, but it's even somewhat challenging for me as a long time braille reader of over 30 years.

I hope this helps,
Scott

Which makes it sound like it will be through Zoom.  But I will find out for sure and let everyone know when I do.  Thanks for your question, and interest.

At this point, we have closed captioning for the Deafblind meeting on Monday, as well as general sessions, the costume fun Friday night, and banquet.  Please let me know if any of the other division meetings, or breakout sessions if people will need close captioning for those.  The other two division meetings I’m aware of are Merchants on Saturday, and Sports and Rec Wednesday evening.  On Tuesday evening, there is  a Mountain at 5 meeting to cover information for Convention, let me know if closed captioning is needed for that as well.  I think that covers it for now, hope everyone has a fantastic Convention.  If you run into any problems, please feel free to get in touch with me.  Looking forward to hopefully seeing all of you at Monday night’s meeting.
