Description

Abstract - This paper describes the C-Print technology and highlights a recent development, C-Print Mobile, which is currently being evaluated with National Science Foundation funding. The C-Print captioning technology is used to produce a text display of spoken information for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing (or other individuals who may have difficulty understanding speech). The C-Print service has most often been provided in educational settings, primarily to provide communication access for a deaf student enrolled in a class with primarily hearing students. C-Print may also be used in business and community meetings, presentations, and many other situations. The new C-Print Mobile app allows users to view captioning in a variety of settings: for example, in traditional classrooms, labs, and meetings. Users can also use the Mobile app to view captioning in remote settings, such as a classroom field trip. In July 2013 the app for viewing C-Print real-time captions on mobile devices was released to the general public as a free download from the Apple iTunes and Google Play stores.
