WHAT IS EARIZE COMMUNICATIONS?

It's an Internet streaming text service for broadcasters. 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 overlooked segment.

Earize Communications is a subsidiary of Caption Reporters.  It draws on over 20 years of experience transcribing events as they happen.  Everything from Presidential news conferences to classroom lectures.

The subsidiary has a three prong charter.  To develop a cost effective way for broadcasters to expand their audiences.  To enfranchise people with hearing loss, including seniors.  To explore the emerging market of people with text capable PDAs and cell phones.

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.
