Webinar «Digital events»
Talks in real time with live text/subtitles and translations to read at the same time
More and more events and meetings are taking place online. People who have impaired hearing or speak another language often encounter barriers.
SWISS TXT’s LiveAccess platform makes it easy to follow talks by using live text/subtitles in several languages. See how it works live at our webinar. We will also be meeting some sign language interpreters and giving you a look behind the scenes to show you how respeaking works in practice and how SWISS TXT makes live streaming from political or public online events accessible.
