• Helping students keep up with real-time captions by pausing and highlighting

  Walter S. Lasecki, Raja Kushalnagar, Jeffrey P. Bigham · 2014 · Proceedings of the 11th Web for All Conference (W4A)

  This paper addresses a fundamental problem with real-time captioning for deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) students: the mismatch between speaking rates (approximately 170 words per minute) and reading rates, which causes students to fall progressively behind the live content. The…

• Accessibility Evaluation of Classroom Captions

  Raja S. Kushalnagar, Walter S. Lasecki, Jeffrey P. Bigham · 2014 · ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing

  This paper presents a comprehensive evaluation of real-time captioning approaches for classroom lectures, comparing Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART), Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), and a novel collaborative captioning system called Legion:Scribe. The authors…

• Real-Time Caption Challenge: C-Print

  Michael S. Stinson, Pamela Francis, Lisa B. Elliot, Donna Easton · 2014 · Proceedings of the 16th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers & Accessibility (ASSETS '14)

  This demonstration paper presents C-Print, a typing-based real-time captioning system developed over 25 years by researchers at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) at Rochester Institute of Technology. C-Print provides communication access for deaf and hard of…

• Real-Time Captioning with the Crowd

  Walter S. Lasecki, Jeffrey P. Bigham · 2014 · Interactions

  This article presents Scribe, a crowdsourced real-time captioning system that allows groups of non-expert typists to collectively produce captions at the speed of natural speech — a task that normally requires highly trained professional stenographers. The authors motivate the…

• Legion Scribe: Real-Time Captioning by Non-Experts

  Walter S. Lasecki, Raja Kushalnagar, Jeffrey P. Bigham · 2014 · ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility

  This demonstration paper presents Legion:Scribe, a crowd-powered captioning system that enables groups of 3-5 non-expert typists to collectively produce real-time captions with less than 5 seconds of latency. The system addresses the prohibitive cost of professional…
