Hi fellas,

I was chatting with other guy about using live streaming or Periscope, and I've tried to encourage him to make it accessible for deaf / hard of hearing people. He mentioned that he was put off with potentially high cost and complicated set-up as he has seen your "Hacking Periscope for accessibility" blog earlier.

I though I do set this record straight here for everyone that it is not as expensive, and there is no need for extra wiring, equipment and set-up.

I work for British Deaf Association, and I do a lot of live streaming for deaf / hard of hearing people with subtitles and sign languages. You only need a smartphone on a tripod to live-stream the verbal speaking presenter sitting next to a sign language interpreter and have a monitor/TV screen stand in behind or wherever it fits - with text feed from STT / Palantypist on site (behind the camera) or remotely. Please see this sample photo I have whipped up via PhotoShop to give you an idea:

No extra equipment needed, set-up by one person only and it's dramatically cheaper. I wished I could have helped you guys earlier. Maybe next time!

Kind regards,

Lyndon
