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

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.
We will be testing two such pods at an upcoming Tech Task Force Meeting. This one from Adobe and also one from Caption First, one of the vendors that work with Adobe._________________________________________________________________________ Judith Hellerstein, Founder & CEO Hellerstein & Associates 3001 Veazey Terrace NW, Washington DC 20008 Phone: (202) 362-5139 Skype ID: judithhellerstein E-mail: Judith@jhellerstein.com Website: www.jhellerstein.com Linked In: www.linkedin.com/in/jhellerstein/ Opening Telecom & Technology Opportunities WorldwideOn 8/22/2014, 12:39 PM, Glenn McKnight wrote:
