Why Live Captions Matter for Public Access-and How to Enable Them Instantly

In today's connected world, government transparency and accessibility are not just ideal-they're expected. Whether you're broadcasting a city council meeting, school board session, or a virtual town hall, it's critical that every viewer, regardless of hearing ability-can access your content in real-time.

With Broadcast Pix, enabling accurate, live captions is easier than ever, helping your productions meet accessibility standards while engaging a broader audience.

Why Live Captions Are Non-Negotiable for Public Access 1. ADA Compliance Live captions are essential for complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which mandates that public communications be accessible to people with hearing impairments. Failing to provide captions can put agencies at legal risk and limit your public service effectiveness.

2. Audience Inclusion Many viewers-including seniors, the hard of hearing, ESL speakers, and those watching in noisy or muted environments-benefit from on-screen captions. Real-time subtitles ensure your message is understood by all, regardless of their circumstances.

3. Broader Reach Captions increase content engagement and retention while also boosting SEO for streamed and archived videos. The result? Your public meetings become more discoverable, accessible, and useful.
