Increased accessibility and inclusion
- Feedback on the use of live transcription and captioning from participants included: “I am an non-native english speaker; reading helps with understanding”, “I have a slight hearing impairment which sometime makes it difficult for me to follow a conversation. I like being able to use the transcription.” and “It is super helpful to be able to go back to a sentence if I misheard anything”.
