Stagetext, a deaf-led charity dedicated to making arts and culture accessible, has developed Stagetext+, a new open-standard software designed with deaf audiences in mind, following a successful trial at Colchester’s Mercury Theatre.
Stagetext+ captioning software has been built to put quality access centre stage.
- Designed with deaf audiences in mind
- Works on multiple devices
- Supports more captioning more often
The software can deliver captions simultaneously across multiple devices – from caption boxes and LED screens to tablets and phones – whilst maintaining the highest quality standards for deaf access.
Unlike AI generated captions and subtitles, delivery will still be by Stagetext qualified captioners and operators to ensure perfect accuracy and timing, enabling deaf audience members to have the same equal experience as their hearing friends and family.
Stagetext+ works with our new supply of screens, and is designed to meet your venue’s needs, in any space.
There are 18 million adults in the UK who are deaf, deafened or hard of hearing, which means 1 in 3 people may benefit from subtitles and captions to enjoy arts and culture. Yet, text-based deaf access is not as widely available as it could be, with many venues citing budget restrictions. Stagetext+ will help expand deaf access throughout the cultural sector by making it more affordable.
Get in touch to see how Stagetext+ can help your venue deliver more deaf access more often.
