C-Print Captioning Services

C-Print is a speech-to-text service that projects captions in real-time. By projecting speech-to-text in real-time, spoken communication is more accessible to individuals who are Deaf, experience hearing loss, or who have low vision.

C-Print may be used in:

• Educational settings
• Business meetings or conferences
• Medical appointments
• Classes and lectures
• Events and community gatherings
• Any setting where an individual or group requires the ability to read spoken communication

How does It Work?

• The C-Print captionist may provide services on-site or remotely.
• The C-Print captionist listens and simultaneously types lecture or meeting content into their specialized software, which produces a text version of the spoken information in real-time.
• This text can be projected on a screen, or computer or mobile device.
• C-Print is content-based (similar to a sign language interpreter) rather than verbatim (like a court reporter).
• C-Print is a concise and thorough translation of spoken English content. It includes as much of the conversation as possible, rather than a word-for-word transcription. It is easy to read and follow.
• After the presentation, a transcript may be provided (Braille transcripts are also available). This is an excellent way to compile study materials or create meeting minutes.

Who may benefit from C-Print Services?

C-Print may accommodate individuals of all ages, including those who:

• Are Deaf, hard of hearing, or experience hearing loss
• Are visually impaired and may benefit from enlarged or colored text
• Prefer written communication over verbal communication
