At the Public Radio Engineering Conference coming up, ENCO plans to showcase an application of its enCaption technology that also benefits attendees in the room.
The software company said it will highlight enCaption’s remote, cloud-based captioning workflow for live event presentations. As in the past it will generate real-time captions for PREC session displays, but now without needing on-premises hardware.
“Instead, ENCO will securely receive audio feeds from the conference, process captions through its cloud-based infrastructure and return live text in real time for display on-site via standard web browsers,” it said in a press release.
“The approach demonstrates a flexible, scalable alternative for live event captioning, particularly in environments where rapid deployment or minimal on-site resources are required.”
ENCO said this also enhances accessibility for engineers who won’t be in Vegas but attend virtually.
Scott Hanley, president of the Association of Public Radio Engineers, said, “The ability to caption in real time for both in-room attendees and remote participants — and even offer multiple languages — represents accessibility for the future.”
PREC takes place April 16–17 at the Tuscany Suites Hotel in Las Vegas. ENCO also will exhibit at NAB.
