Edited might be the wrong word. Real time guesses each utterance as it is spoken. Final version is looking at the last few seconds of utterances which give it context. The extra context means it can

I just want to point out that preferences probably depend on the quality. ASR got a bad name because it was so often wrong. It has improved enormously. If anyone uses ASR with their Innocaption app

I received this question from a group setting up a virtual platform to offer courses: I would love to ask your opinion about our online platform development. We are about to implement captioning

Portable loop systems are quite a powerful advertisement for hearing loops, since they can be demonstrated at very little cost. Contacta have made a rather #overkill' example: I

Hi Sara, In Washington state, we are very fortunate to have a hearing loop program through our state ODHH office. Assistive Communication Technology (ACT) Program | DSHS (wa.gov) Washington state

Hi Peggy, Thanks so much for that suggestion. I didn't know about the Univox CLS-1. Sounds like a good and economical solution for looping a room. Sara Oser

The Univox CLS-1 kit includes a loop driver that will work with 100’ of copper looping coil that can be temporarily ‘installed” on top of carpet or other flooring. The entire kit plus a few loop
