Closed Captioning At Calvary Church

You do not need any special training to use the devices; they will be turned on for you and the words will appear as they are broadcast. http://www.calvarygr.com/node/73 *this live captioning is provided by a voice captioner. Voice captioning does not require any typing, and the “record” being taken can be seen almost instantly by others. Wearing a headset and speaking into a microphone, voice captioners simply repeat what is being said in real time, and the transcript appears on a computer screen — punctuation marks and all. [EDIT 2011] This captioning is now ...
