Hello:

 I use the Zoom platform with Captions and Transcript. If the Captions are too fast to keep up, then I open the Transcript and view the transcript to catch up with the conversation. However, my Jacksonville Chapter President refused to pay for Captions for their Zoom meetings. She stated "It (the cost)  is too much for the Chapter to consider".  It made me and another Chapter member who is Deafblind feel as if we are an "expense".

Hello All, 

 

I was wondering if anyone on this list would share how you are using the zoom platform.  Any suggestions or tips for using the Zoom platform is appreciated. How have you manage to utilize the zoom and the following: close caption, chat box and adjust the volume. For me Sometimes it is hard to hear everyone clearly on the call. And a bit challenging to use the chat feature with voice over while people are talking .  I do not use captioning or interpreters. However, I was wondering if I could use the close caption with voice over and listen that way. Also, what is Cart? So, Which is better a computer, iPad or iPhone.  Thanks in advance for your response.
