Judith's previous email below... Adobe caption pods in adobe connect. https://blogs.adobe.com/connectsupport/how-to-use-adobe-connect-captioning-… According to this site, the Adobe caption pods which are extensions are available free of charge to Adobe Connect customers. With the Adobe Connect Closed Caption Pods extension from Adobe ensures that participants who are deaf or hard of hearing may fully participate in online meetings and events. To download the pod/extension click on this link https://www.adobe.com/products/adobeconnect/feature-details/closed-captioni… Meeting organizers hire professional captioning services from providers such as the Media Access Group at WGBH, Caption Colorado, and Caption First. Professional stenographers join the Adobe Connect meeting or teleconference to listen to the audio and transcribe the information using specialized stenographer’s keyboards. This information is transmitted to a captioning server, This YouTube video shows how it is done. They are using Caption Colorado when we will be using Caption First for our demo The captions are transmitted to the Adobe Connect Meeting and viewed by the end users. Meeting participants have the ability to customize the caption font size and color settings to enhance readability. Participants can even skip back to re-read previous captions and then fast forward to the current captions. Participants may individually choose to display or not to display captions on their individual screen. Participants can optionally save the captions as a transcript and download them at the conclusion of a meeting. In closing I will contact Captions First to ask them to join us. for the call.

Accessible Conference Tools
by Glenn McKnight Aug. 11, 2014

Aug. 11, 2014

Let'sGoEXPO has a very unique history. Built their system to assist the low vision and blindness industry by making information about products and services available to individuals who may never be able to attend a tradeshow or conference. Basically their goal was to "bring the event to the individual, instead of the individual to the event." Our initial testing was extremely successful, and we began our path of developing a suite of online products that are accessible to both attendees (front end) as well as organizers (back-end management) of online events.y research on conference tools adapted to the needs of the disabled discovered Lets Go Expo https://www.letsgoexpo.com/Page/accessibility/accessiblhistory Free Trial/Testing product http://www.conference321.com/masteradmin/roomb.asp?id=rs34493e0b8bde *Features* - As accessible as it gets for webinars, webcasts, and web conferencing! - Integrated voice chat over the internet (VOIP) - Show HTML, Word, PDF, and PowerPoint presentations - Desktop sharing - Video webcast OR video conference - Track login history - Text-chat and log history of text chat - Record presentations, capture polling results, and more - Multiple controls for the moderator *Uses* - Sales presentations - Team training & education - Webinars - Community chat *Costs* - As low as $2.00 per seat per month Compare Let'sGoEXPO with other webconferencing services Let'sGoEXPOWebEXMS Live MeetingAdobe ConnectVOIP ConferencingYesYes, additional costsNoYes RecordingYesYes, requires additional download for viewersYes, WMVYes in "Pro"Display DesktopYes (upon request)YesYesYesVideoYesYesNoYesMultiple Room OptionYesNoNoNoUnlimited Hosts (Moderators)YesYes up to 9 for $60 each NoNoAccessible to DisabledYesNoNoNoCost for 100 Seats/month$200-$300$280 $1,542$7,500 Glenn McKnight mcknight.glenn(a)gmail.com skype gmcknight twitter gmcknight .
