At conferences, the text can be projected onto a plasma/overhead screen for large audiences (Photos 1 and 3) A projector and screen is also available for hire. Another option is to overlay three lines of text at the bottom or top of the Powerpoint or the main presentation slides (photo 4).
The benefits of this system are:
- only one projector required
- useful for situations with limited wall space for projection
- clients can read the subtitles AND watch the presentation at the same time, rather than having to glance between two different screens
The service also includes the following features:
- individual speakers identified by name
- customisable screen appearance (typeface, font size/colour & background colour)
- environmental sounds - {laughter}, {applause}
- Captions can be provided in English AND simultaneous automated translation in multiple languages
An example transcript from one of my assignments is available
