Ava vs. AI-Media: The Ultimate Solution for Live Captioning Needs

Thinking about moving from AI-Media? You’re not alone. Here are a few reasons why folks decide to switch to Ava (and why you might, too). 

#1. Read the room with SpeakerID

Ava is the only real-time captioning service that shows you who is saying what.  When using AI-Media captions, all speakers appear as one in a large paragraph of text, making it difficult to follow the conversation. With Ava’s first-of-its-kind speaker identification technology for live captions, each speaker is color-coded and labeled - helping you keep up with the conversation in real-time.

#2. Captions that Integrate directly into your online meetings

It’s annoying to figure out the captioning tools directly in Zoom, Google Meets, and Microsoft Teams. Each solution offers a different quality level and doesn’t let you respond with text-to-speech or scroll back in the conversation. With Ava, you can integrate directly into each online call with Ava Connect.

#3. Talk back in the conversation

With the option to use Ava to voice your text, non-voicing Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals can actively participate in conversations, meetings, and gatherings with a natural-sounding voice. When using AI-Media, Deaf people are unable to talk back in the conversation, meaning that it’s always a one-way conversation unless you are also paying extra for in-person interpreters. With Ava Voice, Deaf people can interject their ideas and responses seamlessly into any conversation.

#4. Captions available anytime, anywhere

Need live captions during a meeting on your laptop? Now need captions when you’re chatting to a classmate during a group project? Ava’s the app that goes with you 24/7. Available on the web, a floating caption desktop app, or on mobile, Ava is with you anywhere you go. You don’t have to carry your laptop with you for your coffee break like AI-Media. Just open Ava on mobile and you instantly have live captions for any conversation.

#5. Features with you in mind

When creating every feature, Ava is thinking about the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community. When using live captions with AI-Media, you’re unable to talk back in the conversation - always making it one-sided. With Ava, you can use Ava Voice to talk back in the conversation type back a response, and have Ava voice it with natural-sounding voices using text-to-speech. Ava also has an adjustable desktop app meaning you can customize your captioning experience over any web browser or media. You can also use captions offline in situations like an airplane or if you’re in bad service.
