A global survey conducted as part of a live event speech-to-text/captioning project of the International Federation of Hard of Hearing People (IFHOH) and the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) is now launched. We kindly ask persons who use captioning to fill in this survey and contribute to the enhancement of our understanding of the state of live event captioning from users’ perspectives and to aid in planning any next steps to advocacy and inclusion. The ultimate goal is to improve live event/speech-to-text captioning at international events including those sponsored by the United Nations.
