Captioning a Connect Online Meeting
About Captioning
CIT supports Web Collaboration (Online Meetings) using the Adobe Connect application. Just like a face-to-face meeting, in an online meeting, some adjustments must be made to enable a hearing impaired person to participate fully. Adobe offers the Acrobat Connect Captioning Extension (i.e., Captioning Pod). By using this extension, the meeting host can provide captioning to hearing-impaired attendees. A captioner attends the meeting and transcribes any aural content of the meeting. The text is encoded during the meeting, real time, and appears as captions in the Captioning Pod.
