Deveney Tells Council of Upgrades to Local Cable
Everett Director of Communications Deanna Deveney told city councilors at their May 9 meeting that Everett Cable Television (ECTV) will be leading the way compared to many surrounding communities with the recent upgrades that will provide “better transparency of government.”
Deveney told the councillors that the installation of new cameras has been completed in the Council Chambers. She also informed the council of the new services that will be available for residents with disabilities.
She said that sign language aides are available provided that enough notice is given to the ECTV staff. She also mentioned that closed-captioning of the meetings will be in real time. The councilors were told that this service also will be available on the internet and Facebook platforms.
Deveney noted a minor issue with closed-captioning. She said that certain names or words may be skewed as the artificial intelligence program may not immediately recognize the correct spellings of words or names.
However, the spelling of names and words can and will be corrected manually after the fact and the program can then have the library of correct spellings for future use.
