[NFBCS] Captioning a Zoom meeting

[Skye]

Tracy, one potential workaround is to broadcast on youtube live and use 
their automatic captioning service.  It is far from perfect but way 
better than none.  The transcript can be exported from youtube to share 
afterwards.  There are also some services like streamtext, interpreter 
now, etc. to live caption.

Hope this helps!

The key to closed captioning is having someone who can either type or
operate a court reporting machine at speeds comparable to the rate at which
people speak. Depending on the meeting, some groups have also posted a
transcript of the meeting for future reference.  I believe the closed
captioning is available with a Braille display but there is no going back
once the caption has left the screen.

Tracy,

Yes, there was Zoom captioning at the national convention.  My understanding
is, though, that one has to read the captioning pretty quickly and some did
not like that.  It might be worth checking with our DeafBlind list to get
the latest information on the best approach.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

People on the NAGDU list are asking about options for captioning a Zoom
meeting so that deaf-blind people can participate.  Can anyone here offer
suggestions?  Was such a thing done for the national convention?
