This service complements our other video accessibility services and will provide customers with the most accurate and reliable live captioning on the market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prospective customers often have questions about new products. While we love learning the ins and outs of captioning and streaming, we know the processes can sometimes be intricate and hard to understand. Many questions come up: How does live captioning work? How does live captioning differ from closed captioning? What is encoding? What does it mean to have live captions on a second stream? The list goes on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this blog, we\u2019ll go over some of our most frequently asked questions about our live captioning service. Read on to learn more.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is live captioning?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Live captioning is designed for live events and is performed in real-time. Our live captioning service uses automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology and professional captioners, who receive access to the media at the same time as the viewer, to deliver highly accurate captions in real-time.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-quote su-quote-style-default su-quote-has-cite\">\n<div class=\"su-quote-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\u201cIn recorded captioning, we typically go through three rounds of review to get to our 99% accuracy. The fact that we\u2019re holding ourselves to around a 96% accuracy for live captions really says something about the techniques we use in order to generate what we intend to be an equivalent experience to what is being said in the event.\u201d<span class=\"su-quote-cite\">Stephanie Laing, 3Play Media Senior Product Manager<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How is live captioning different from closed captioning?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Live captions are for content happening in real-time, and closed captions are for pre-recorded content. It\u2019s important to note that live captions are typically \u201cclosed,\u201d meaning the viewer can turn the captions on or off. While video streaming is used for live and recorded content, live captioning is specifically for real-time videos. For example, real-time events such as a live webinar use live captioning, whereas streaming apps like Netflix would use closed captioning for recorded content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Live captions are necessary for d\/Deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers to access live events and <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowza.com\/blog\/complete-guide-to-live-streaming\">live streaming<\/a><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which involves playing multimedia content across the internet to allow for real-time viewing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How does live captioning work?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3Play Media\u2019s live captioning service goes through a three-step process: Listen, Caption, Deliver.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 1: Listen. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To begin our three-step process, we need a video <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowza.com\/blog\/rtmp-streaming-real-time-messaging-protocol\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) stream<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. As a default, 3Play provides a stream target to which the customer can send their RTMP stream so 3Play can listen to the audio and generate captions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>For customers that aren\u2019t able to send an RTMP stream to 3Play, we can still provide live professional captions. In this case, customers will need to provide a way for the professional captioner to access the event audio, such as a Zoom meeting link or dial-in phone number.<\/p>\n<p>While c<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ustomers have the option of both streamed and streamless live events for live professional captions, streaming adds increased flexibility and resiliency with our auto-captioning failover. <\/span>We recommend customers send 3Play a stream if possible, as streaming allows us to have auto-captions running persistently in the background.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-quote su-quote-style-default su-quote-has-cite\">\n<div class=\"su-quote-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\u201cA key differentiator for us and a part of what makes our service great is that for our professionally captioned events, we are persistently running our auto-captions in the background. We can only do this if we have a stream.\u201d<span class=\"su-quote-cite\">Stephanie Laing, 3Play Media Senior Product Manager<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><b>Step 2: Caption. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on a customer\u2019s preference, the captions are produced by ASR technology or a professional captioner. For streamed events, live professional captions will always have 3Play\u2019s live auto-captions persistently running in the background in case of interruption. In the unlikely event that the professional captioning feed is lost, captions automatically failover to auto-captions. When the connection regains, captions revert to the professional captioning feed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 3: Deliver. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have multiple delivery methods to make captions available to your audience in real-time: Captions can be embedded in a web page, delivered to an API, or delivered to a second screen.<\/span><br \/>&lt;!&#8211;<\/p>\n<h3>In-player vs. external delivery<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Embedding, in which a customer receives a code snippet to embed into a webpage, is an external delivery method, whereas API and encoding are in-player deliveries. Customers can also use a Second Screen delivery with other delivery methods. With streamless events, we must deliver captions to an embed or Second Screen; if we have a stream, we can provide captions for in-player delivery.<\/span>-&gt;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/go.3playmedia.com\/lac-quality\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Not all live captions are equal.

Audience members can click on the provided URL to view the live transcript and captions produced in real-time. This type of delivery is a common presentation method for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearingloss.org\/hearing-help\/technology\/cartcaptioning\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>CART captions<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Second Screen delivery is available for all 3Play live captioned events regardless of integration, production, or delivery method.<\/span><br \/>&lt;!&#8211;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is 608 Standard Encoding?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3Play offers real-time <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/blog\/difference-cea-608-cea-708-captions\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>608 Standard Encoding Delivery<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> into video streams for native caption playback on live players.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Encoding is highly desirable for optimal audience experience and caption control in web-based and mobile players when caption embedding and API delivery are impossible.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We always advise customers using 608 Standard Encoding Delivery to set up a secondary stream as a failover in case of interruption. If desired, they may also caption the secondary stream.<\/span>&#8211;&gt;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How does a secondary stream work?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customers can use a secondary stream as a backup live stream linked directly between the encoder and the end video player. In the unlikely event of an interruption to the primary stream, the live stream switches to the secondary stream; when the interruption resolves, the live stream reverts to the primary stream.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do customers set up live captioning?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We make all our video accessibility services easy to order, and live captioning is no exception.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customers can schedule live captions on-demand in the 3Play Media online platform. After scheduling your service, we\u2019ll match your upcoming event with a professional captioner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customers have the option to submit custom event instructions, speaker names, or wordlists, which the live captioner can review before the event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you approach your event start time, you can start streaming, and the live captioner will begin captioning in real-time. When the event is over, you\u2019ll have full access to the transcript and captions from the live recording, as well as the option to order additional services.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get Started Live Captioning With 3Play Media<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At 3Play Media, our\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/services\/livecaptioning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">live captioning service<\/span><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0allows you to schedule captions for any live event.
