Introduction
Accessibility is no longer a “nice‑to‑have” – it’s a legal and pedagogical requirement. Students with hearing impairments, non‑native speakers, or learning‑differences need clear, searchable text versions of every lesson. MegaTranscript’s AI‑transcription makes it possible to generate accurate subtitles and reading material in real time, turning any classroom into an inclusive #DigitalClassroom.
Why Classroom Accessibility Matters
| Audience | Need | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Students with hearing loss | Real‑time captions | Improves comprehension & participation |
| English‑language learners | Written transcripts | Reinforces vocabulary & pacing |
| Students with dyslexia/ADHD | Structured notes | Enables review at their own speed |
| Remote learners | Subtitles for video lessons | Guarantees parity with in‑person instruction |
