With the easing of restrictions in connection with the coronavirus pandemic, more events will be held on site again. For many people, this is a welcome opportunity to do something together with others again after a long time. But for people with hearing impairments, attending an event can quickly become a challenge.

The EVE app, which creates live subtitles for events, offers a solution to this problem. This creates greater accessibility and people with hearing impairments can enjoy events better.

The importance of live subtitles

Live subtitles are not only important for people with hearing impairments, but also for people who are not fully fluent in the language or have difficulty following fast speech. Subtitles can also help to better understand and internalize the content of an event.

But although live subtitles are already standard in many areas, they are often still missing at events. This is where EVE comes in and enables event organizers to make their events barrier-free.

How does EVE work?

EVE runs in a European cloud and can be used for an event without any lead time. The speaker’s language is recognized by EVE and converted into text in real time. Viewers can then read the subtitles on their own device.

EVE is easy to use and requires no additional hardware. In addition, subtitles are available in real time and there are no delays. This means that viewers are always up to date and don’t miss anything.

Conclusion

The easing of coronavirus restrictions means more events on site. But for people with hearing impairments, attending an event can quickly become a challenge. EVE offers a solution to this problem and ensures greater accessibility at events. Live subtitles are not only important for people with hearing impairments, but can also help to make events more accessible and understandable for everyone.
