Caption Display
As mentioned, via the Settings panel, you have the ability to customise the look and feel of the display.
Choose from a variety of fonts, font sizes and colour schemes, optimised for maximum readability.
The Chat Panel
The chat panel is a useful tool to facilitate communication between you and your captioner.
Through the chat panel, you can confirm they are standing by, or provide them with any updates about start times, provide helpful terminology and otherwise troubleshoot.
Clicking the chat button will open up the below panel.
The numbers marked 1 through 5 allow you to send a pre-set message to your captioner.
Number 2 is reserved for your own custom message, which you can change via the Settings button, under the Chat tab.
Otherwise, you can type a message in the white box and hit Send.
Captioners may get in touch with you via the chat panel if they are having particular troubles with the audio, for example. When a new message is received, the panel will be coloured blue.
