GalaPro has developed technology to provide live shows, theater, and cinema with accessibility and translation services, including subtitles, dubbing, closed captioning, audio description, and amplification, directly to the users own mobile device via an app available on both the App Store and Google Play. The companys speech recognition technology synchronizes all content in real-time, providing a seamless in-theater experience.
The GalaPro solution was designed for patrons who are deaf or blind, have hearing impairments or low vision, or require translation services, as well as for the aging population. GalaPro provides venues with an opportunity to broaden their audiences while serving as an additional marketing tool for connecting with their patrons and gathering user data.
GalaPro is currently in use in most Broadway theaters in New York as well as additional theaters across the U.S. and Canada, with an upcoming launch in London. The Broadway League in New York has adopted the GalaPro solution as the industry standard, and it is supported by the Mayors Office of Media and Entertainment. The company is the recipient of the 2018 Sapolin Accessibility Award for Communication and Technology from the New York City Mayors Office for People with Disabilities.
