Live captioning at large scale events

Audience
Clients and staff attending the foundation’s live events

Languages
English

Summary

A leading national health philanthropy foundation regularly hosts live events for both clients and staff, and needed those events to be accessible without adding friction for the team running them. At least once a month, the foundation turns to KUDO for live captioning at events of 50 or more participants, typically in English. The foundation also uses Microsoft Teams for its internal meetings. What has kept the foundation with KUDO is its ease of use and the flexibility of having many options to fit different event needs.

The Challenge

Providing accessibility services for both clients and staff at live events is easy to get wrong — solutions that are hard to set up or inflexible create extra work for organizers and a worse experience for attendees. The foundation needed a captioning solution it could rely on repeatedly, for events of significant size, without the process becoming a burden each time.

The foundation needed:

  • Live captioning for events with 50 or more participants, at least once a month
  • Accessibility support that worked for clients and staff alike
  • A solution that was convenient and efficient to deploy, not a heavy lift for the team
  • Flexibility to accommodate different event formats and needs

The Solution

KUDO gives the foundation a live captioning solution it can call on at least once a month for events of 50 or more participants, making accessibility a routine part of event planning rather than a special undertaking each time. Captioning is typically delivered in English, supporting both client-facing and internal staff events.

What has stood out most to the foundation is how easy KUDO is to use, paired with the flexibility of having many options available depending on the event. That combination has made KUDO a dependable part of how the foundation approaches accessibility across its live events.
