<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Do you have IR capabilities for the classroom or do you have FM systems available for loan? We use

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Have you tried <a href="https://petralex.pro/en">
Petralex</a> on Android/iOS devices? It’s an app that’s meant for hard of hearing individuals to help convince them that hearing aids may be needed. There is a subscription for this service after a 1 week trial.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><a href="https://otter.ai/home">Otter</a> can be somewhat good, but it’s not something that I would recommend to replace CART. It is great for after hour events which may not have captioning available.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><a href="https://www.ava.me/">AVA</a> (Audio Video Accessibility) is an app that provides automated captioning or CART which you may want to consider. There are plans for their CART services.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Have the student sign up with
<a href="https://www.innocaption.com/">Innocaption.com</a> ASAP. It’s captioning for the DHOH users on mobile devices and is free for personal use. They do have the potential to use it for Zoom lectures where other students are attending remotely, but illegal
to use if the DHOH student is the only remote attendee. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
