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. Ava is built by the Deaf Community, for the Deaf Community
That means each and every feature is designed with YOU in mind. Ava was created by Skinner (born Deaf) and Thibault (born in a Deaf family) to bridge daily communication gaps between the Deaf & hard of hearing, and the hearing world. Ava’s mission is to empower 450M Deaf & hard-of-hearing people with a fully accessible life, while Cielo24 isn’t centered around the Deaf community.
#2. Read the room with SpeakerID
Ava is the only real-time captioning service that shows you who is saying what. When using Cielo24 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.
#3. 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. Cielo24 only integrates with Zoom, which leaves you high and dry in all the other online meetings.
#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 Cielo24. 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 Cielo24, 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. Verbit has a one-size-fits-all solution, which in fact - does not fit all.
