Video Transcript for "Want Ai-Live^™?"

Anne Porter, Founder of Aussie Deaf Kids: We need solutions in education, like Ai Live, that is going to motivate children and help them and prepare them for this changing world that they face.

STUDENT: Feeling part of classroom conversations is the best part.

Sally Pape, Support Teacher Hearing Impairment: In English, I have worked with a student who was in Year 9 last year, and from the very first session, she engaged with the teacher, not just with her interpreter.

So she was focussing on what was going on in the whole classroom, not just within our little pocket of the classroom. She was more motivated to learn, she became very excited about what they were doing in class, she did all her homework, all her assignments, and she went from the bottom of the class to coming first in the yearly exam.

STUDENT: It enables me to access all the information on everything.

Warren Parkes, High School Principal: Captioning provides a level of interaction between the deaf student and the teacher that I have never had experienced before. For the first time the teacher knows the children understand and are getting the work, and the children can provide direct feedback to the teacher without going through a person sitting next to them interpreting the work for them. It's very rapid, it's very quick, so it is a realistic option for increasing and improving the learning of students within the classroom.

STUDENT: I would like captioning to be part of my future. It will be helpful when I am at university as well as at school.

Leonie Jackson, Head of Education Access, Ai-Media: From the feedback we've got from the students within the pilot program so far, they think it's cool to bring their laptop into class, and the other students think that it's cool that they have captions within the classroom. They can communicate directly with the teacher, and I find this very exciting.
