real-time captioning

Real-time captioning is the instant conversion of spoken words into written text as someone speaks. It uses specialized software or human transcribers to provide immediate captions, often displayed on screens during live events like conferences, broadcasts, or online meetings. This technology improves accessibility for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, ensuring they can follow along in real time. It relies on advanced speech recognition algorithms or skilled stenographers to deliver accurate, timely text, helping everyone stay informed and engaged without delays.
