Use live captions and transcription

Use live captions or transcription in the supported platform you are using for class, meetings or events.

Use the caption/transcription feature built into the tool you are actually using.

Use the live-caption or transcription feature available in the platform used for the class or event, and make sure participants know how to turn captions on.

  • For a live online class or meeting, enable the platform's live captions/transcription when available.
  • Tell participants how to turn captions on.
  • For recorded instruction, review/edit the recording captions afterward.
  • Do not treat automatic transcription as a substitute for an interpreter or other approved accommodation when one is required.
