It begins with a captioner, who is listening
to a live event at the same time as the user. The captioner
writes the audio portion of the event using captioning
technology. This technology and the skill and training of the
captioner allows them to reach speeds up to 250 words per minute.
This is the same technology that is used for captioning live TV.
Using Caption Colorado's advanced technology, the captioned text produced
by the captioner is streamed to the system allowing the text
of the event to be displayed on a Smartphone and/or Tablet.
An example of in use is a live sporting game at a stadium. Here the captioner
connects to the Public Address (PA) system to receive audio.
The spoken speech on the PA system is captioned (realtime text)
by the captioner and sent to the Smartphone and/or Tablet via the application.
The user will be able to read along on their Smartphone and/or Tablet and
have access to the spoken speech on the PA system providing full access
to what is happening at the game.
