Phonak Roger MyLink Manual

Using Roger
to assist in classroom
Speech-to-Text solutions
Overview
By connecting a Phonak Roger MyLink into a student's or classroom computer, students can receive live, automated captions.
The voice of a teacher or peer using Roger microphone technology is transmitted to third-party software to create automated
captions. Then students can read, in real-time, the captions created during the lesson. Archival and translation of the lessons
is also available through these captioning services.
What is it?
Students can follow the lesson on their personal computer, mobile device or embedded in the instructor's presentation.
