Caption Companion

“Sending all good wishes your way and another round of gratitude for all that you do to make our work accessible. We appreciate you!”

“You have been amazing and I’ve loved having you throughout the program. I never could have done this without CART. It’s funny, I tend to think I don’t need it, but trying to do without it really makes my stress level go up and reminds me that listening fatigue is real.”

“Caption Companion worked perfectly today!! I can’t wait to write the blog and share the video my co-worker took! There was a lot of chatter about it at the conference today. Thank you so much!!”

“Margaret is our contact at Premier Visual Voice and has been amazing to work with.”

“I found the captioning really helpful today. I think my team did as well. Since I do interpreting work in conjunction with CART, having reliable captions can really improve the quality of the ASL interpretation as well. So pass our thanks on to Margaret, please.”

“Thank you for reaching out and following up on our trial with your services. Our attendees were able to use the closed captions and we found them extremely accurate and helpful. Additionally, Margaret was terrific and a real asset to us as we were using captions with breakout rooms for the first time. We will definitely reach out again in the future when the need arises for live captions in one of our Zoom sessions.”

“The Caption Companion has been a great addition to our lending program and we need a quote for 4 additional Caption Companions.”

“First, I wanted to say that we received the Caption Companion and just from playing around with it, we absolutely love it. So, thank you very much and we are about to order 2 more of them.”

“Margaret is one of the best voice writers that I have had the pleasure to work with. In addition to the quality of her work, Margaret’s professionalism, attention to detail and respect for deadlines makes her a terrific source for real-time and off-line captioning assignments.”

“On Saturday we went out to a restaurant with my daughter. It was quite noisy so all the interference made my hearing aids almost useless. But I set the Caption Companion on the table propped up. I was impressed that it almost never picked up other unwanted voices or added them to the conversation. I was able to understand both my wife and daughter quite well that way. When the waitress came by she was quite intrigued with the device. She could see the screen so would say things to see her words appear on the screen.”

“Thought I’d send you a couple of pictures of Caption Companion in action at this conference. It’s such a life saver! What it misses along the way is not that big of a deal as I have enough residual hearing.”

I wanted to let you know that I received the tablet and the PVV peripherals and I have to share with you that it is truly wonderful. The system includes EVERYTHING that one needs to get great captioning, especially the wireless BT mic, the right splitters and cables, and most of all, a system that really works. I tried it over the weekend and I am truly impressed with the PVV system.

Captioning is truly one of the most important assistive technologies in my life that truly compliments my Cochlear Implant and other AT that I utilize to help me have effective communication, be it in-person, electronically, in groups, and anything else. I truly wish I had this technology when I started out in grade school as a child with profound hearing loss in both ears since infancy. At least this is available for all to benefit from as needed.

I have been using Caption Companion wherever it is of help for me and I really appreciate having it. Examples have been online programs, presentations, and videos. Along with that, I have used it when I am with others and of course, when I talk with my wife. It is wonderful to have and I am truly amazed how much it has made a difference in my understanding and comprehension.

The help/demo videos have been very helpful and it is a nice instructional service that goes with the device to get the most out of it.”

I wonder how I ever got by without Caption Companion for most of my life living with severe/profound hearing loss now to my mid-70's getting through my education obtaining my Master's degree in Education, my employment and career as a counselor for college students, my involvement advocating for people with hearing loss, and my personal affairs with my friends and family.

"Hi! I just wanted to follow up and let you know what a life-saver this device is! My hearing fluctuates with stress and tinnitus and today wasn’t a good hearing day for me. I was able to take every call and capture all the information that was needed without any issues. The phone connection was seamless and it is truly the difference between succeeding and failing at my job when it comes to phone calls. I recently joined a group on Facebook and someone was looking for the same type of device. Without hesitation, I recommended the Caption Companion and, as promised, I will be following up with her to let her know how well it worked. Thank you, thank you, thank you for offering this kind of tech. Caption Companion turned a bad day into a great day!"

“I just wanted to give you an update. We tried out the microphone set with my client in her classroom and she absolutely loves them! She was about to go out of town but she can’t wait to use them more when she gets back.”
