What is Live Captioning?
When you need a live event made accessible for people who are deaf or suffer from hearing loss, live captioning is the service you need. Live captioning services are used for newscasts, broadcast sports events, arena captioning, city council meetings, business conferences, concerts, webinars, and more!
Live broadcast captions – on TV — are always in the roll-up format, in which individual lines appear on the screen and roll up to make way for the next lines. This service helps provide accurate captioning live for audiences requiring accessibility options.
Feel free to visit our FAQ page to learn more about roll-up captioning. You’re also invited to browse our Live Captioning Services to see what we can do for you!
Live Event Captioning
Live event captioning offers immediate, verbatim, voice-to-text translation at events, sporting events, conferences, conventions, graduations, classes, public hearings, and government meetings. You may hear people call this service CART Captioning.
LNS provides access for participants who are deaf or hard of hearing, those new to learning the English language, or for audience members who simply have trouble hearing the audio in a noisy venue. The live captions can be presented on a large video display, a text ribbon, other video displays, handheld devices, a laptop or other projection system.
We use remote captioning for most events, though we can provide onsite captioning with enough notice. Advance booking is very important for large events to make your event go as smoothly as possible. Call us at your earliest convenience to book our captioners. For high-quality captions, we request scripts or preparation material in advance.
Event organizers and audio-visual companies in charge of event logistics and audience engagement are invited to reach out to LNS Captioning today to learn more about our professional captioning solutions.
