Velotype and Text-on-Top. Real-time Captioning Solutions and Products


Sander Pasveer



Abstract

Text on Top® is a wireless, affordable software and hardware solution that provides real-time captioning on top of any application running on the secondary computer and without interfering with the use of this secondary computer.

Problems to be solved with Text-on-Top:

A second overhead screen is needed
User needs to sit close to screen
Interpreter needs to sit close to beamer
A user needs to look at two different screens
One of the applications for this product will be real-time subtitling of a (Powerpoint) presentation or the subtitling of a videostream which is being made visible through a computer. This can be at big meetings, like a congres where the presentation is shown on a large screen. But also at seminars, workshops, trainings, weddings, funerals.

Benefits

Low cost solution.
Eliminates the need of a separate CART screen and beamer/projector setup, thus:
Cost reduction.
No space occupied on the stage.
Better communication: The audience stays focused on the presentation.
Solves segregation issues: The audience, especially those with a hearing impairment, don’t need to gather around the CART text screen.
CART/STTR reporter is free to sit anywhere (not tight to a beamer/projector video cable).
Improves communication: The audience can read back what is being said, especially valuable when the presenter and audience does not share the same (native) language.
Plug & Play, no drivers needed.
Both Apple and Windows computers supported.
No USB slot of your computer is being sacrificed: the device supplies a free USB socket located at the rear end.
Presentor doesn’t need to worry about the appearance. The CART/STTR reporter take care of this remotely.
No interference with other running applications on the presentor’s computer.
Robust wireless connection over 150 meters. No BlueTooth, no WiFi, hence no complicated configuration issues or paring pitfalls!
