Live Captions for Hackney Moves 2025
“Accessibility was really important to us for Hackney Moves, and the live captions made a huge difference on the day. VoiceBox understood what we were trying to achieve and helped us deliver a more inclusive event for our runners and community.”
Hackney Moves is all about getting people moving and bringing communities together. For the 2025 event, delivered by Motiv Sports, the team wanted to go a step further by making the day more inclusive and accessible for everyone attending.
A key goal was to ensure that important live information and communications from the event could be accessed by deaf and hard of hearing attendees, as well as anyone who benefits from visual text support in busy outdoor environments.
Motiv Sports partnered with VoiceBox to deliver live captions throughout the event, helping Hackney Moves create a welcoming, accessible experience for runners, supporters and the wider local community.
VoiceBox provided real-time live captioning, ensuring spoken content was instantly converted into accurate, readable captions. Our team worked closely with the organisers to understand the flow of the day, and this allowed us to deliver captions that were timely and easy to follow, even in a lively outdoor setting!
By integrating live captions into the event setup, Hackney Moves was able to host a genuinely inclusive event. An event where where accessibility was part of the experience from start to finish.
The result was a great community event that brought people together, reinforced Hackney Moves’ commitment to inclusion, and demonstrated how accessibility solutions can enhance live sports and community experiences for everyone.
