iCap VC: iCap Voice Captioning System

In the interest of providing small market TV stations with a highly streamlined and cost-effective solution for emergency captioning compliance, EEG has introduced the iCap Voice Captioning System (iCap VC).

In this enhanced version of the iCap IP-based Realtime Captioning System, caption entry is accomplished via a voice recognition system that integrates smoothly with iCap and the EEG HD480 Smart Encoder V.

Using iCap VC, a trained staffer monitors the live on-air audio on headphones, then respeaks it via microphone into the captioning system. Users can also supplement voice captioning through iCap VC with timed captioning from a pre-prepared script or any text file.

In this way, small market stations using iCap VC will be equipped for accurate emergency captioning self-sufficiency.

With iCap VC, stations can:

• input iCap captions through an external voice recognition software such as DragonVoice
• create rollup captions by simple typing, without the need to know special encoder commands
• create variable speed rollup captions from a plain text file, including repeat features for emergency info and other time-critical data

The iCap VC license works on a per-user name basis with iCap. Once a station has a license, it can be used with any encoder.

Trial version available: Stations can audition a version of iCap VC that does not require a license to operate, and watermarks the output text with a demo message.
