For over 20 years, Archive has provided live captioning services to state legislatures, city and town councils and other government agencies around the country. With experience working with many different platforms and encoders, our support staff can ensure your meeting goes smoothly. Our experienced real-time captioners accurately capture all of the proceedings helping you meet the needs of your constituents.
Many local government agencies take the position that the FCC does not require them to provide captions for their legislative sessions that they stream to their local PEG channel or on the web. Many feel that the cost of providing captions, when compared with the relatively small operating budgets of their broadcast channels, is prohibitive and therefore absolves the municipality from providing live captioning. However, several recent lawsuits brought by activist lawyers representing deaf and hard of hearing constituants have led municipalities to re-think their approach to providing captioning for their events.
That all of these suits have been settled out of court and not gone to trial should not be overlooked. The actual cost of providing live captioning services for a modest size town with 4-8 hours of meetings per month is less than $10,000 per year, excluding any hardware that may need to be acquired to support the process. While not insignificant, it does provide access to deaf and hard of hearing taxpayers eager to participate in their government. Further, with more and more content being viewed online and on mobile devices, captioning can make meetings accessible to constituants who want to view the sessions in situations where the use of audio is not acceptable, such as public transportation or a library.

CART and Remote CART Services: Archive is a leading provider of CART and Remote CART services at all levels of study. Our skilled and experienced captioners provide verbatim, highly accurate live captioning across a variety of academic specialties including STEM classes. We use state-of-the-art technology to stream captioned text directly to the student's laptop or smartphone in real time. It's easy to use and simple to set up, allowing students to fully participate in classroom discussions by providing a complete, verbatim transcript of the discussion in real-time. Learn more about Remote CART services.
TypeWell/C-Print: For a condensed, easy-to-read option many of our customers request C-print or TypeWell services. These technologies rely on transcribers using abbreviation software that allows them to capture the essence of what’s said in real time. Consumers can folllow along with the class using streaming software such as Streamtext. This process eliminates redundancy and erroneous words–you read what the speaker means, not the exact words that the speaker is saying. After the session is over, the provider will lightly edit the transcript and forward it to the consumer. Learn more about C-print and TypeWell services.
