During the Microsoft AI Tour in Bogotá, at the Compensar Av. 68, we had the honor of providing the live captioning service. This event focused on artificial intelligence innovations, brought together industry leaders and technology enthusiasts to explore new frontiers in the digital realm for 2 days, and hosted around 3000 people. It was a space where the latest trends were shared, offering interactive sessions, live demonstrations, and networking opportunities. The event was attended by the CEO of Microsoft, Satya Nadella, who shared his vision for the future of Copilot and its integration in its daily applications and all the advantages it will bring.
To better understand how our CART service works and its benefits, we've answered some of the most frequently asked questions about this service below.
What is CART or Live Captioning?
CART is a real-time subtitling service that allows the accessibility of information to people with hearing difficulties or, as in the case of the Microsoft AI Tour, also for people who did not know English since many of the conferences were in this language and they were able to read the texts in Spanish. This way of integrating simultaneous translation in events saves costs, optimizes the logistics of this service in events with many attendees, and ensures an accessible and fluid experience.
How do you implement live captioning at an event?
During an event, a team of transcribers listens to the original audio or a language interpreter and translates what is being said into text. It is then displayed in real time on the screens so that attendees can read and understand the content being transmitted.
Who can benefit from live captioning?
This service serves people who do not know the original language and also people with hearing disabilities.
Do I need to do any prior preparation for the live captioning service?
While most of the preparations will be handled by the team, the event organizers must provide information on key topics and details in advance. This will help to get to know the specific language better and, if necessary, adapt to other languages, ensuring that the transcription is clear and accurate.
What happens if there is a technical problem during the event?
A technical support team is prepared to solve any inconvenience that may arise, ensuring that the CART service works without interruptions.
In conclusion, CART's service was not only an accessibility tool, but it was also instrumental in fostering an inclusive environment, ensuring that all attendees could enjoy and participate in every moment of the event. It is important to note that even though this event was from one of the companies that lead the Artificial Intelligence issue, they prefer to hire the CART service made by people because they know that it still produces much better results than AI, and therefore, true accessibility is achieved.
At ATmedios, we are committed to accessibility and inclusion in all our services, and we are proud to have contributed to the success of this event.
