FAQs
What is live captioning?
Live captioning provides real-time transcription of spoken content during live events, meetings and lectures, making the content accessible to audiences as it occurs.
How does live captioning enhance accessibility?
Live captioning enhances accessibility by providing real-time text representations of spoken content, making it easier for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing to follow along. It ensures that all participants, regardless of their hearing ability, can engage fully in events, meetings, and broadcasts. Moreover, live captions benefit non-native speakers and individuals in noisy environments, enhancing overall comprehension and participation.

Once your Verbit account is set up, you can schedule live captioning for your event via the Live Bookings page on the Verbit platform. Read our support article on scheduling live captioning on our support site.
