Seymour Events
Seymour Events is an assistive technology platform designed to make live events more accessible and inclusive. It provides real-time captioning and translation services that enable deaf, hard of hearing, and multilingual attendees to fully participate in events.
How It Works
The platform is designed with simplicity in mind. Sound technicians connect their audio equipment (XLR or microphone jack) through their computer, create an event link via the Seymour Events web application, and share that link with attendees. End users simply click the link on their mobile devices, smartphones, tablets, or laptops to receive live captions instantly—no downloads or additional setup required.
