Live or Recorded?
At first, you’ll be asked what type of content you’re looking to make accessible – either live or recorded content. Go ahead and pick one. Don’t worry, you can order both at any time.
Then you’ll see a screen that looks similar to this.
The top menu shows a basket icon (yours should be empty), followed by a tab for Live and Recorded. In the image, the Recorded tab is selected. It is from here that you can order captions, transcripts, audio description and other services for a video or audio file.
If you’re looking to book live captioning services for an upcoming event, you’ll need to first click the Live tab and then click the “Book Now” button.
The tab at the top right of your screen with your name on it is where you can access your account information including your settings, billing history and other useful information.
