Review at your own pace
People who have dyslexia can experience poor working memory. Caption.Ed records the audio, transcript, and video for you so you can focus on staying present and review the content at your own pace at a later date.
Avoid spelling miscues
If you have dyslexia, spelling miscues can really throw you off. Caption.Ed’s highly accurate transcript means all words are spelt correctly, taking the pressure of your own note-taking.
Improve your comprehension
Ended a session? Jump back into your meeting or lecture and pick it apart at your own pace. Revisit what was said as many times as you need to, whenever you need it. With fast, accurate live captioning, you can also read along as you listen to help your brain absorb what’s being said.

Sepia mode for better readability
Studies show that colour contrast can improve readability for people with dyslexia. Switch between Light, Dark, and Sepia mode for enhanced readability.
As well as captioning, Caption.Ed also allows users to be able to record any audio or video they are listening to, add notes in real time, and highlight pieces of important information. These recordings and annotations will then be available for users to review and revise in their own time.
Users are able to pause recordings, jump seamlessly between sections, and also annotate the audio stream.
Taking notes is a critical aspect of effective learning in Higher Education. Caption.Ed improves focus by reducing auditory strain and decoding complex or scientific terms during live note-taking. This can reduce the fatigue students with dyslexia often experience from straining to understand words.
Captioning software improves focus and concentration at work by reducing anxiety over complex words and terminology. Captioning technology allows staff with dyslexia the freedom to engage in meetings without worrying about misunderstanding any words said or fretting about capturing inaccurate notes or taking notes too slowly to keep up with the pace of the conversation.
