The Americans with Disabilities Act has served a critical role in advancing accessible and equitable communications for deaf and hard of hearing individuals. But as companies race to automate their customer service operations in recent years, many are inadvertently creating new barriers for deaf and hard of hearing people.

"You Can’t Transcribe a Trainwreck" — A timely article in Politico touches on the complex and ever-changing landscape of real-time captioning, and I had the pleasure of sharing VITAC’s perspective on the matter. At VITAC, we’ve always believed that accessibility is key to inclusivity, and accurate, real-time captions are an essential part of that mission. As discussed in the piece, navigating the challenges of fast-paced dialogue, unexpected interruptions, and the importance of human expertise in captioning are areas we tackle daily. Proud of our talented team and their dedication to providing accurate and reliable captions that keep everyone in the conversation—no matter the environment. Check out the article for insights into the behind-the-scenes work that keeps real-time transcription rolling. #Captioning #Accessibility #Inclusion #VITAC #Verbit
