Education FAQ

Does this help with accessibility compliance?

Yes. SyncWords live captions support your WCAG, ADA, Section 504/508, Bill 96, and European Accessibility Act obligations, for both in-person and online instruction. Compliance itself rests with the institution; our output is built to support it.

Can international students follow in their language?

Yes. Live captions translate into the languages your students need, in text and voice.

How do we caption a commencement?

Captions are delivered to a page students and families scan via QR. No livestream integration, and at least 10,000 simultaneous viewers.

Which tools does it integrate with?

Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Panopto, Kaltura, Brightcove, Vimeo, Wistia, Cvent, Dacast, Castr, and AWS Elemental, plus 100+ virtual event platforms via the embedded widget. In-player caption delivery works with JW Player, THEOplayer, HLS.js, and Video.js.
