Closed captioning helps meeting attendees follow along the conversation and represents a critical accessibility need for a more inclusive meeting experience. This capability brings access and understanding to hearing impaired, attendees with a bad connection and anyone who comprehends better with a visual script of meeting content. Turn on closed captioning with the click of one button and see meeting text either in the side or bottom of the screen. The text is displayed immediately after being spoken and remains on the screen to refer to for clarification. Closed captioning is available for recorded and non-recorded meetings.
Webex for Government audio intelligence produces a clear speech experience with less feedback that improves people’s ability to listen, understand and perceive nuances. With optimize for all voices, Webex suppresses background noise and brings those who are otherwise unintelligible into your meetings and calls. With optimize for all voices, you can now include everyone in the meeting, remote or in the office. Whether they are close to the microphone or far away or have a soft voice or a loud voice, Webex brings them equally into the conversation.
Meeting APIs are continuing the Webex initiative to integrate into other platforms and software programs. APIs give developers the ability to integrate Webex video calls and messages from within other software programs improving the productivity of workers. With meeting APIs you can:
An example of using meeting APIs is with applications that run on desktop and mobile browsers. APIs can be inserted to automatically configure the Webex screen to your iOS or Android devices. Another example is creating video layouts that meet users’ needs within a specific application. These APIs also allow flexible integrations for scheduling and presenting in Webex for Government.
With these added features, Webex for Government is increasingly responsive to users providing flexibility, inclusivity, and enhanced productivity to your organization.
