Relay Conference Captioning (RCC)

Relay Conference Captioning (RCC) is a free service for anyone who is deaf or hard of hearing to engage in group conversations in a videoconference, multi-party conference call or webinar. Using the same high-quality captioners that produce closed captioning for television, RCC users receive live, real-time text streamed to a computer connected to the Internet anywhere.

Classrooms or Face-to-Face Meetings

  • Read captions of what is said during classes or face-to-face meetings on your laptop, tablet, or mobile device with a high-speed Internet connection.
  • Schedule your request to participate in meetings with RCC!

How to schedule the RCC service

  1. Make an appointment at least 48 hours (two working days) in advance to guarantee the service.
  2. Arrange for a toll-free conference/audio bridge for a captioner to listen and caption the scheduled event.
  3. Go to Florida Relay Conference Captioning to submit a request.
  4. Fill out required information on the ONLINE FORM including:
    • Contact and event information.
    • Teleconference call number and access code.
    • Date and time of event.
    • Provide specific information (i.e., proper names, call agenda, speaker or Power Point notes, etc.) in order to receive accurate captioning.
  5. Transcript option must be selected at time of scheduling RCC to retain a copy on the server or destroy immediately after the call.
  6. Once the call is booked and your captioner is assigned, you will receive a confirmation e-mail with the Event ID and the RCC link for you to access your captioned call.  You are welcome to share the RCC link with the participants to view captions.
  7. We understand that cancellations or event changes may occur.  Cancellations or event changes must be received within 24 hours of an event. Please use your confirmation email or e-mail RCC@t-mobile.com to let us know of any changes or cancellation.
