The software allows the spoken word to be produced on screen so that the hearing-impaired can follow what is being said.

This service requires the use of a stenographer or palantypist, supplied by the company.

When our writer or writers arrive at the venue, they can either connect their CAT software to a large screen for display to a wide audience or they can sit beside a hearing impaired client with their laptop set to presentation view.

A transcript of the event can be provided either edited or unedited.
