Welcome to STAGETEXT

STAGETEXT is a registered charity which provides captioning and live speech-to-text services in theatres and other arts and cultural venues.

Captioning is a way of converting the spoken word into visible text to give deaf, deafened and hard of hearing theatregoers access to live performance. It helps theatres develop new audiences, brings former audiences back into the theatre, and provides a more enjoyable experience for current audiences, whether they have a hearing loss or not.

We offer information and support to theatres that want to set up their own captioning service and train local captioners.

STAGETEXT also works with museums and galleries to make their programmes accessible to deaf, deafened and hard of hearing visitors through live speech-to-text technology.
