Steve: I checked in with our partner's from Oregon State University. Their response is provided below (from Rick Brand whom I've cc'd on this message) They use LNS for live captioning. There are apparently a number of different ways live captioning can happen depending on what the delivery medium is. The latest technology to connect on the internet is iCap. It allows the audio to stream to the captioning company and for the data to be returned so it can be embedded as text over the network. The old way was used phone lines. LNS is very good at listening to your situation and suggesting a solution. They are located in Portland but have become a national service company. <http://lnscaptioning.com/><http://lnscaptioning.com/%3e> Hope this helps Regards Sean Sean McSpaden Oregon Deputy State Chief Information Officer 503-378-5257 (w) 503-798-1507 (c) Sean.L.McSpaden@xxxxxxxxxxx Data Classification: Level 1 - Published From: oagitm-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oagitm-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Arndt, Steve Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2012 8:51 AM To: oagitm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [oagitm] Close Captioning All We are researching how to add close captioning to our cable and web streaming broadcasts of our Council and Planning Commission meetings.
