It is a red letter day over at DearMYRTLE. We announced something marvelous during today's Mondays with Myrt Zoom Webinar. We are adding live closed captioning to our webinars.
As our regulars know, DearMYRTLE webinars are all about conversation.
- We have a cadre of opinionated panelists from throughout the world.
- Cousin Russ spotlights attendees’ comments.
- We focus on diversity and inclusion, excited to learn new things together.
- We don’t have lectures per se, but we enjoy informative conversation.
Yup! “Myrt’s got CC!”
By Wednesday, each panelist will be set up to participate, so that our Zoom API can
tell our 3rd party service to automatically transcribe his voice to text during our live meetings. All
attendees may view the CC - closed captions, as well as the transcript.
Finally, our Deaf associates can share in the learning, share in the teaching, and revel in
the camaraderie like never before. How cool is that?
Here's what it will look like:

Watch the first few minutes of today's Mondays with Myrt for the explanation of how this new CC option will work.
You will note that the CC worked today for only what Cousin Russ and DearMYRTLE said, because we have not yet activated this option with our other panelists. By this week's WACKY Wednesday, all panelists will be part of the CC.

Great News!!
ReplyDeletewonderful that you are adding this - many genealogists and family historians have hearing issues and for others perhaps it is an accent or the speed at which a person speaks - kudos for thinking of others and figuring out how to be inclusive!
