Recapd Enables Captions for Zoom and Webex Meetings as People Work from Home


LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y., April 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- SyncWords is helping organizations worldwide adjust to the new normal of online meetings and working from home.

At the same time there is a concern for security and scalability that must be addressed. We have built a one-of-a-kind robust and secure captioning system for online meetings that is ready for this level of demand," says Giovanni Galvez, VP of Business Development at SyncWords.

Recapd seamlessly integrates with Zoom, ON24, WebEx, and Adobe Connect allowing organizations to easily send captions to their meetings. It also allows oranizations to translate meetings in real-time to 40+ Languages, engaging and enabling foreign language participation.
