Education University of North Carolina
Human captioning with event coordination from SyncWords keeps arts events accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences.
The story
Arts events, captioned to a standard the school trusts
The University of North Carolina's arts programming requires closed captioning for deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences, and the school is particular about caption quality.
The challenge
Live arts events needed captioning that deaf and hard-of-hearing audience members could rely on, at a quality bar the school would not compromise, and with the event-day logistics handled.
The solution
SyncWords provides professional human captioning for the university's events, paired with event coordination services, so each session is staffed, scheduled and delivered without the school building that capability in-house.
The result
The engagement has run for years. Captions are well received by audiences, the deaf and hard-of-hearing community is pleased with the quality, and the scope of services keeps growing.
