Delivering clear, professional captions during events is crucial for audience engagement, but caption formatting issues like miscapitalization and positioning can create unnecessary distractions. When one of our customers approached us about reducing these disruptions, we developed a solution: the capitalize captions feature.
This feature enables uppercased captions, reducing distractions caused by miscapitalized words. You can also now set the position of your captions on the screen to ensure they don’t cover important content on your slides.
These features give you more options to ensure your audience stays focused and engaged throughout your event.
