Just starting to watch a stream of @talk2MeGooseman dissecting the Web Captioner source. Very cool!
Going live this evening and starting a new mini project. I will be dissecting the WebCaptioner code base to see what how I can incorporate a caption web source. Come stop by!

Just a reminder that Web Captioner is going away in about 2 months on 10/31. Begin to switch to an alternative now if you haven’t already: webcaptioner.com
A reminder that Web Captioner will sunset and be open sourced October 31, 2023. More info and alternatives are at webcaptioner.com

For the best results in adding live captions to Zoom meetings, and due to an issue with Zoom's captioning API, I now recommend using Zoom's closed captioning feature instead of Web Captioner's Zoom channel: webcaptioner.com/blog/2021/0…
Good news for Zoom participants: Zoom now offering free live transcriptions. Currently you need to make a request to have it enabled for you. blog.zoom.us/update-on-live-…

Have you heard of @WebCaptioner? It's a free service that listens to your microphone and provides live captions... and it's a great way to add closed captioning to your @Zoom_us meeting! More information is on our Zoom webpage:

I am still waiting to hear back from @zoom_us support on an issue where closed captions will sometimes stop working during a meeting, with no way for Web Captioner to recover. I have posted the support ticket details here: facebook.com/groups/webcapti…

If you use Zoom for classes and client work, there is NO REASON to not better include folx who are deaf or hard of hearing by using live captioning via @webcaptioner! It's FREE, quick, and ...well ...the right thing to do.
I am working with @zoom_us support on a possible issue with their closed captioning API that can cause captions to stop appearing in the middle of a meeting.

Alternatively caption your content live if you aren't already, in a way that generates a caption on the clip too! My closed captions are done via @webcaptioner when I am live. No good cheap solution for pre-recorded content though, it's pay by money or pay by time taken to do it.
