Zoom is a popular video conferencing platform that makes it easy to include live and recorded captions on your meetings, webinars, virtual classes and events.
In addition to captioning, 3Play also offers localization services (like subtitling).
In order to generate closed captions, your video must first be transcribed. This transcript can be leveraged as an attendee resource which strategically enhances accessibility and engagement.
A digital transcript enables quick content review, allowing participants to skim key discussions efficiently. Its searchable format ensures that specific topics, action items, or decisions can be located instantly by key stakeholders and search engines alike.
Providing a downloadable, screenreader-accessible transcript is essential for inclusivity. Blind and deafblind individuals often rely on text-based content for equitable access – moreover, if a participant with a disability requests a transcript of your Zoom meeting, federal accessibility laws may require you to provide one. Proactively offering transcripts not only supports compliance but also fosters an inclusive and effective communication environment.
