Our CART for events puts live captions on the big screen at conferences, galas, town halls and graduations. Every attendee can follow the speakers, including people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Event types
Large rooms create real listening challenges. Echo, distance and accents can make speakers hard to understand, even when people have typical hearing.
Live captions solve that problem for the whole audience. In addition, they show attendees that accessibility matters to your organization.
Keynotes, panels and breakouts
Captions run beside the slides during keynotes, while breakout rooms get their own captioner or a remote feed.
Public meetings and open forums
Residents follow every question and answer on screen. In addition, the transcript helps staff prepare the follow-up.
Ceremonies families remember
Names and speeches appear in real time, so relatives who are deaf or hard of hearing share the moment.
Fundraisers and award nights
Large screens show the captions during speeches and awards. Meanwhile, guests can also follow on their phones.

Good captions start long before the doors open. So we plan with your AV team, and then we stay with you until the last session ends.
