GoTheatrical Captioning enables the user to receive live captioning for selected theatre performances (details of performances can be found at theatrecaptioning.com.au). As the actors speak, their lines will appear on the app screen. GoTheatrical helps people with a hearing loss to follow the dialog in live stage performances and other live events. Simply run the app, register to access the list of upcoming events, and select the performance you are attending from the Select Show screen. In this latest version, plugin a pair of captioning glasses (available from theatrecaptioning.com.au) and watch the performance with captions right above the actors on stage. Enjoy the show!
