AI Captions for Government Meetings: The Setup, the Review, and Your Questions Answered Live
Register for This Webinar
About This Webinar
Most government teams already have some form of AI captioning on their meeting streams. The harder part is getting those captions to spell a council member's name correctly, catching errors before a recorded meeting is posted or replayed, and making sure captions appear everywhere the meeting does. That's what this session is about.
Join the Tightrope team as we walk through a practical AI captioning setup for public meetings, a review process that works for small teams, and what WCAG 2.1 AA requires for live and recorded video. We'll wrap up with live Q&A. Have a question you'd like answered? Let us know when you register.
What You'll Learn
- Which versions of your meeting need captions, including live streams, recordings posted afterward, cable replays, and meetings shared on YouTube and Facebook
- How to get local names and terms right with custom vocabulary, clear audio, and a few simple habits for speakers
- What a realistic review step looks like for a small team, including how to correct captions before a meeting airs again
- When meeting video also needs audio descriptions, especially for presentations with slides, maps, or other visual information
- Tools built for government meetings, including a look at MediaScribe Live for captions and translation in the meeting room and on residents' phones, and MediaScribe Narrate for audio descriptions on recorded meetings
Who Should Attend
Government video teams, city clerks, public information officers, communications staff, accessibility coordinators, IT professionals, and PEG and community media teams who produce or publish public meeting video.
