Audio Options for Closed Captioners

Providing Closed Captions for Conferences

You can provide real-time text transcriptions or language translations of the
video conference by displaying closed captions on your system. When you
provide captions for a conference, the captioner uses a web browser to listen
to the conference audio and enter the caption text in the system's web
interface. When the captioner sends a unit of text, all sites see it on the main
monitor for 15 seconds. The text then disappears automatically.
When you provide captions for a conference, the captioner may be present, or
may use a telephone or web browser to listen to the conference audio.
The captioner must receive all audio from the conference using one of these
methods:
• Attending one of the conferences sites
• Listening to the conference via the V500 web interface
• Listening to the conference via a speakerphone in the room at one of the
sites
Captions can be provided in any language that uses the Latin alphabet.
The captioner can enter caption text in one of these ways:
• In the room or remotely, using the V500 web interface
• In the room or remotely, using a Telnet session

Providing Captions Via the V500 web interface

Closed captioners can provide captions from inside the conference room, or
from a remote location, by entering the captions directly into the V500 web
interface, as shown in the following diagram.
