[NFB-DB] 1CapApp

[Scott Davert]

Hello Doula.
1Capapp is a delivery method for captioning, which works very well,
even with an iPhone. The only draw-back to this system for some is
that it is not in the same window as the Zoom conference. However, I
find it less distracting than all of the messages that flash up on
Zoom, even when trying to read the transcript in Zoom. I'll be working
with Streamtext, another provider, next week and will see how that
goes. I remember attempting to use it at a conference in Europe 3
years ago and it was not a plesent experience. However, things can
change in 3 years, and I'm hoping they have.

Best,
Scott
