[Athen] anyone have experience in real-time captioning

[Berkowitz, Daniel J]

We do this for our main ceremony at Nickerson Field. It is semi-real-time in that we are able to get the text of the speeches to the captionist just prior to the ceremony. Individual programs are able to hire captionist as necessary. We are very fortunate to have the pros from WGBH right in our backyard and they are contracted every year.: http://main.wgbh.org/wgbh/pages/mag/services/captioning/
 
The response has been overwhelmingly positive -- especially from our older commencement guests. Call me if you want more details.
 
Cheers --- Dann
