Videoconference Captioning

What is Videoconference Captioning?

NCI designed a special real-time captioning service to meet the unique needs of corporate and government videoconferences. Working from NCI facilities or satellite locations, an NCI-trained real-time captioner provides live captioning during the entire scheduled conference time. The NCI captioner works from a video feed, when available, or from an established telephone audio line.
