Live Captioning

To caption a live video broadcast, you can use either CaptionMaker or MacCaption software. You will also need closed caption encoder hardware. They range in price from $1,200 to $10,000 depending on whether the video is analog, SDI or HD. CPC does not manufacture any caption encoder hardware, but can resell one to make a complete package for you.

The basic software needed for live captioning

• CaptionMaker CPC-500 for Windows and

• MacCaption-DV Encoder for Mac

(You can also use any software from the MacCaption and CaptionMaker series) 

You would also need a text input system like speech recognition software or a steno system. CPC can help you to choose one for you. Click here for the choices of CC encoders, steno machines, steno software etc.
