•Listening to the conference via the V500 web interface
•Listening to the conference via a speakerphone in the room at one of the
sites
Options for Supplying Closed Captions to Conferences
Captions can be provided in any language that uses the Latin alphabet.
The captioner can enter caption text in one of these ways:
•In the room or remotely, using the V500 web interface
•In the room or remotely, using a Telnet session

Providing Captions Via the V500 Web Interface

Closed captioners can provide captions from inside the conference room, or from
a remote location, by entering the captions directly into the V500 web interface, as
shown in the diagram below.

http://255.255.255.255) to go to the V500 web interface.
