Do you have an upcoming event or livestream and need captioning? With the growing use of AI-powered solutions, the choice isn’t simply whether to add captions; it’s about choosing the right type of captioning for your content. Just like the rest of technology, automatic speech recognition (ASR), an AI-powered captioning solution, has come a long way and is now a popular, cost-effective solution. At Caption Pros, we understand that complex conversations and real-world events demand accurate captions and often still require human expertise. By understanding the key differences between ASR and human captioning, their respective roles, and their benefits, you can make an informed decision about how to provide accessible and accurate captions for your next event, meeting, or digital content.

Livestreaming can be an impactful way for businesses, large and small, to reach a greater audience. Whether you are creating comprehensive online classes or hosting your quarterly conference, livestreams help companies bypass limitations of physical events and still reach their audience.

Captions are an important step in creating a successful livestream and ensuring your content is accessible to your audience. Adding real-time captioning can boost engagement and help your audience fully engage.

As expert captioners, we understand that a strong technical understanding of how captions are delivered can make a difference in the smoothness and accuracy of your event’s captioning. In this guide, we’ll break down technical industry jargon like RTMP and clearly lay out caption delivery workflow options to ensure your livestream is equipped with uninterrupted captions.

Captions aren’t just for those with hearing loss. Recent studies have shown that 50% of Americans use closed captions while watching videos for various reasons, including poor audio, learning a new language, or developing a better understanding of the plot.⠀

Hosting an upcoming seminar or annual conference? Make your next event fully accessible with real-time CART captioning. CART stands for “Communication Access Real-time Translation.” CART captioning is the instant translation of the spoken word into text. Here’s how it works:

- Our captioner listens to your meeting or event and accurately types every spoken word using a stenographic keyboard.
- The captioner’s software translates the steno language into English text, formatted as captions.
- The captions are streamed to an Internet-connected device, such as a smartphone, tablet, or laptop.
- The audience can read the captions in real-time on their device through a link Caption Pros will provide.
- After your session, you will receive a roughly edited file the same day as your event. We can provide same-day verbatim transcripts, upon request.
