The Speech to Text Software Pilot aims to test and understand the benefits of using 'Caption Connect' captioning software in schools, primarily for students who are deaf or hard of hearing.
The captioning software will be available for teaching staff in five pilot schools, enabling students to read live captions on the interactive whiteboard or screen at the front of the classroom. Additionally, the software will transcribe the lesson, allowing the teacher to share it (once edited) post-class.
For more details see our Caption Connect Captioning Pilot information.
