First year AuD student Lindsey Kreul recently co-authored “Picking the Right Live-Captioning Option for Your Telepractice Client” in the December 2021 ASHA Leader. Kreul and Dr. Lynn Gilbertson of the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater discuss live-captioning and impacts on the accuracy of the technology. Because different speakers have different characteristics, automatically generated live-caption options are not equally effective in capturing the speech of talkers of different ages, particularly in complex soundscapes.
Congratulations, Lindsey!
