There are two convenient ways for attendees to view the captions for your event:
Personal Devices:
We offer a secure and user-friendly option where attendees can access captions on their own smartphones, tablets, or laptops. You'll receive a unique link or QR code that can be easily shared with attendees through your event materials, website, or displayed on-site. Once they access the link or scan the QR code, they'll see the real-time captions displayed on their chosen device.
On-Screen Display:
Captions can also be displayed on screens throughout your event venue. This ensures clear visibility for attendees who may not have a personal device or prefer captions on a larger screen. Integrate captions directly onto individual monitors or customize the display to show captions on the bottom third (lower third) of the screen, ensuring they remain visible without obstructing the main content.
