UAA’s captioning services reflect our fifteen years of experience producing captioning, in all media formats. We have provided captioning for many diverse projects ranging from the Bronx Zoo’s Congo exhibit to a mobile device-based tour of a Revolutionary War museum in New York. We’ve even done captions for Broadway shows. UAA’s commitment to quality and attention to detail ensures that our captions are precise, synchronized, simple to follow, and easy to read. The words appear clearly on the screen and are never washed out or blurred by other visual elements.

Communication Access Real-Time Translation (CART)

UAA’s captioning in real time is an accessibility service that is ideal for programs such as lectures, council meetings, classes and professional association speeches that do not have pre-written scripts. UAA has the technology to produce real time captioning at a remote location, transmitting them to the site where the program is occurring. Our CART providers are experienced professionals whose expertise in captioning guarantees speed, accuracy, and accessible media of the highest quality.

UAA’s audio tours and audio description make public spaces, such as museums and schools, accessible to people who are visually impaired. As one of the largest producers of description in the country, UAA has the experience and resources to deliver crisp and concise descriptive information specifically designed to stand out clearly amidst the background noise of public locations.

Our audio tours and audio descriptions are carefully written and produced by a team of respected experts who include language and literary specialists, authorities in the field of disability studies, professional audio description writers, sound engineers, and blind/visually impaired quality control directors.
