Re: Videoconference for deaf spanish speakers?

Hi Chaals!

Google Meet supports autocaptions in Spanish language.

Subject: Videoconference for deaf spanish speakers?

[External - Use Caution]

Hi folks,

I am wondering if my knowledge is out of date, and thought showing my
ignorance might get me to check, if someone else doesn't know the answer.

a request in a private forum that is generalist but with a heavy presence
of people in medicine asked for information about videoconference systems
that will work for deaf people, in spanish.

The Spanish Centre for Captioning and Audio-description have a helpful
article
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.cesya.es/articulos/accesibilidad-auditiva-en-plataformas-de-videoconferencia__;!!NLFGqXoFfo8MMQ!u2VYV2CBZlQgNYBKoddSM4ZKzj43-fZaTMeM_AvQZoNc_ZROAA2MX5dS4lnf7AVicfy5_nD0WfMgbM19uglyzH10y0FL_rT0h2cfp04$
but the short answer seems to be "none of the autocaptioning works in
Spanish", but Zoom allows someone to be identified as a "captioner"
(much like the way W3C has been using IRC in teleconferences for the
last quarter-century, but without the supporting tools we have).

I wonder if anyone here can add to this.

I'll also report here with a summary of that discussion, which also linked
