Remote Realtime Online Captioning

child using the speech - language teletherapy Remote Realtime Online Captioning uses in-house designed software, the Internet, and basic computer hardware. RROC software has evolved, after years of extensive research and development, into a user friendly and reliable system.

The service works simply. The speaker (teacher, lecturer, presenter) uses a microphone (wireless or not, depending on the application) which transmits audio to a computer. The computer digitizes the audio and transmits it over the Internet to a remote captionist who transcribes it and sends it back to the presentation location where it is projected on the user's computer screen. This system allows words spoken to be immediately translated into print for the user, hence the term "Realtime".
