How to Deliver Low-Cost Captions on Live Webcasts
While streaming live webcasts to its worldwide body of employees, the people at 洛克希德·马丁公司 challenged themselves to reach all the workers at the same time. Hearing impaired workers often asked for transcripts of live video events after the events had taken place. The IT team knew they could create a better solution.
At the recent 流媒体 East conference in New York City, 托马斯Aquilone, enterprise technology programs manager for 洛克希德·马丁公司, explained the company's first efforts.
"Our challenge was reaching the hearing impaired, and we were not desperate because we weren't mandated by the government to do this, but we were trying to come up with solutions,阿奎龙解释道. "One thing we tried right away, because it was live with no delays, was to have live simultaneous American Sign Language webcasts."
They created video players that contained an icon with two hands, which workers could click to get an ASL stream during a live event.
"A whole new player would open up, and in the video window same slides, 相同的音频, but you would have an American Sign Language interpreter doing sign language in the video window,阿奎龙说. 意思是, though it was live and there was no delay, there who two whole separate webcasts, 所以成本翻了一番, 至少."
That wasn't the ideal solution, 然而, as an ASL track didn't preclude the need for closed captioning.
"Afterwards, as we found out, we still needed closed captioning for the rebroadcast. You could still access the American Sign Language webcast, but many people still needed closed captioning,阿奎龙解释道.
