What Is Earize Communications?

Earize is an Internet streaming text service. This service can be used exclusively for caption radio, and to assist deaf and hard of hearing people in meetings, telephone conferences, and seminars, to name a few. Audiences can be increased by 8.6% just by reaching the folks with hearing loss. The service is also a vehicle for additional advertising to this sometimes overlooked segment.

Who We Are

Earize Communications is a subsidiary of Caption Reporters Inc. It draws on over 13 years of experience in broadcast captioning and real-time captioning including webcast and CART (computer assisted real-time)

The subsidiary has a three prong charter: To develop a cost effective way for broadcasters and organizations and businesses to expand their audiences; To expand the emerging market of people with text capable PDAs and cell phones to be able to read "talk radio".

Over the last year a team of engineers and software developers pared down the traditional slow, high bandwidth and low capacity Internet conferencing technology. What emerged is a lean and mean Linux server strategy designed to simultaneously send text to thousands of people. This proprietary server software takes very little bandwidth, supports all major web browsers, and most importantly requires no special software to use.

As a result of this new technology, Earize can now offer services never offered before to include caption radio, talk shows, remote captioning for deaf and hard of hearing people through the internet.
