What is Real-Time
Captioning?
Real-Time
Captioning was pioneered by academic facilities for use in classroom settings
containing several persons who were deaf or hard of hearing with various
disparate language backgrounds and skills. Since then, Realtime Captioning has
come to be viewed as an effective teaching aid, enabling deaf and hard of
hearing students to watch Realtime lectures while taking their own notes, and
allowing them to have immediate access to classroom transcripts, all of which
foster student independence and confidence in an academic setting.
Realtime Captioning is also a viable communication aid outside of the formal scholastic environment. Many businesses
have begun implementing Realtime Captioning for employee trainings, staff
meetings, stock holder meetings, conventions, and other large venue events. The
objective is always to ask those who are deaf and hard of hearing which mode of
communication works best for them in the specific setting and then accommodate
accordingly.
Who uses Real-Time
Captioning?
Real-Time Captioning is used primarily by people who are deaf and hard of
hearing to facilitate communication. Though in many instances people who are
deaf and hard of hearing will require a sign language interpreter, Real-Time
Captioning is often the preferred option of late-deafened individuals and
persons who do not use sign language as their primary mode of communication. For
these people, Real-Time Captioning is the most effective and reasonable
accommodation.
