Including live captions in meetings and events isn’t just nice to have—it’s a powerful strategic move.  According to the Professional Convention Managers Association (PCMA), offering captioning and transcripts is a classic example of the “curb-cut effect”— an accommodation first created for accessibility that ends up benefitting everyone; in fact, around 80 % of caption users don’t have hearing impairments.  PCMA also points out that early budget planning for accessibility — including live captions — not only aligns with legal obligations but can boost attendance by 20 % and even drive 20–30 % higher profit margins.

Beyond compliance, live captions also increase attendee comprehension and engagement.  Cvent emphasizes the user‑experience uplift that comes from embedding real-time captions and subtitles in both virtual and hybrid event environments, supporting broader accessibility goals and ensuring content is reusable and searchable post-event through archived captions and transcripts.  Studies show that pairing audio with text improves retention, helps non-native speakers, individuals with cognitive differences or strong accents, and even those in noisy environments.  Captions can also enhance discoverability—search engines index captions, boosting SEO and content value over time.

CaptionRelay is an easy to use live caption service that allows you to cost effectively leverage the power of accessibility for your event.
