Ava vs. C-Print: A Look at 24/7 Accessibility

Trying to figure out which accessibility tool is best for you or your organization? Here are a few reasons why folks decide to use 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 C-Print 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. Ava is ADA-compliant

Unlike C-Print, Ava Scribe combines AI with professional captioners (Scribes) to deliver 99% accuracy captions at the best price and meet ADA requirements. At Ava, you can schedule an Ava Scribe just 6 hours before your planned conversation, meeting, or class - perfect for last-minute planning or canceled accommodations. C-Print cannot guarantee 99% accuracy with their AI-generated captions, meaning they do not deliver at the ADA requirement.

#3. 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 C-Print. Just open Ava on mobile and you instantly have live captions for any conversation.

#4. 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 C-Print, 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. C-Print has a one-size-fits-all solution, which in fact - does not fit all.

#5. Test drive your captions with a free plan

At Ava, we believe that everyone should have access to live captions. That’s why we still offer a free plan with lower-quality captions. When you need the highest quality of captions for important conversations, you can have your organization pay for 99% accurate captions. You can’t test-drive C-Print captions and thus get stuck with your contract.
