Caption.Ed Expert is live captioning and note-taking software designed to make spoken information easier to follow, understand and remember. Whether you’re attending a meeting, taking part in training or listening to a lecture, Caption.Ed provides live captions and a written record you can return to whenever you need it.

Rather than trying to listen, process information and take detailed notes at the same time, you can concentrate on what’s being said. Caption.Ed captures the conversation, lets you highlight important points and helps you pick up anything you might have missed.

Who is Caption.Ed for?

Caption.Ed supports a range of disabilities and access needs. It’s particularly useful for:

• Deaf and hard-of-hearing people who benefit from reading live captions alongside spoken conversations.
• People with ADHD who find it difficult to maintain attention or remember details from meetings and discussions.
• People with dyslexia who benefit from having spoken information available in a written format that can be reviewed at their own pace.
• People with auditory processing differences who may need additional time to process or understand spoken information.
• People with memory or concentration difficulties who want a reliable way to revisit instructions, decisions and important details.

It’s also a practical tool for anyone who regularly attends meetings, training sessions or lectures and needs an accessible record of what’s been discussed.

Key features

• Live captions as people speak. Follow conversations in real time, whether you’re attending an in-person meeting, joining a Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet call, or watching online content. Caption.Ed supports captioning in 55 languages.
• Take notes alongside the conversation. Highlight important information and add your own notes as you listen. Annotations are linked to the transcript, making it easier to find the relevant part of a discussion afterwards.
• AI-generated summaries and action points. Turn lengthy meetings or lectures into clear summaries, with key points, decisions and actions identified for you. Templates are also available for meeting minutes, follow-up emails and revision notes.
• See who said what. Speaker labels help distinguish between participants, making transcripts easier to follow. Caption.Ed Scribe can automatically identify speakers in supported online meetings.
• Revisit conversations whenever you need to. Recordings, notes and transcripts can be kept in a searchable library, so you can find information without having to listen to an entire session again.
• Personalise the way captions appear. Adjust the caption size, choose between light, dark and sepia themes, and use the OpenDyslexic font option to suit your reading preferences.
• Export and share your notes. Download transcripts as Word documents or text files, making it easier to keep records, prepare reports or share information with colleagues.
• Record transcripts without saving audio or video. A transcript-only option is available when you need a written record but don’t want to retain the original media.

Why choose Caption.Ed Expert?

Caption.Ed Expert includes 9,000 minutes of transcription per month, equivalent to 150 hours.

That’s three times the monthly allowance of Caption.Ed Pro, making Expert particularly suitable for people who depend on captioning throughout their working day or regularly attend lengthy meetings, lectures and training sessions.

You get the same practical captioning, note-taking and AI features, with a substantially higher transcription allowance.
