Multi-provider live captioning: Deepgram and ElevenLabs join Recap's speech recognition lineup
Live captioning for public meetings, lectures, and broadcasts depends entirely on the speech recognition engine running behind the scenes. If that engine goes down, captions stop. For organizations with accessibility obligations under ADA Title II or WCAG 2.1 AA, an outage during a city council session or commencement ceremony is not just inconvenient; it is a compliance gap.
Recap now supports three live speech recognition providers: Deepgram, ElevenLabs, and Google. When one provider experiences errors, Recap automatically fails over to the next, keeping captions running without manual intervention.
