Ava Nonprofit Discount & Pricing

Ava is an AI-powered live captioning platform designed to make conversations and meetings accessible for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. Unlike traditional CART (Communication Access Realtime Translation) services that require human stenographers and can cost $150-200+ per hour, Ava combines advanced speech recognition AI with optional human scribe verification to deliver 99% accurate captions at 60-70% lower cost. The platform works seamlessly across virtual meeting platforms (Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet), in-person settings via mobile apps, and hybrid events, providing real-time captions in over 50 languages with subtitle translation capabilities.

Ava's core technology includes three captioning modes tailored to different accuracy and budget needs: AI-only captions for everyday conversations and meetings (included in free and paid plans), AI+Scribe hybrid captions that combine machine learning with human review for critical accuracy (available with 6-24 hour notice depending on plan tier), and professional scribe captions for high-stakes events like legal proceedings, medical consultations, or board meetings. The platform integrates with a single click into video conferencing tools, displays captions on mobile devices and desktop browsers, supports multi-speaker identification (diarization), and offers custom vocabulary training to improve recognition of organization-specific terminology, acronyms, and proper nouns. Ava also provides session recordings with searchable transcripts, live caption sharing via QR codes or links for in-person events, and ADA compliance features to help organizations meet accessibility requirements.

For nonprofits, Ava addresses critical accessibility and inclusion challenges across programs and operations: disability-focused nonprofits can provide real-time captions at community events, town halls, and workshops to ensure deaf and hard-of-hearing participants have equal access, educational nonprofits can make virtual training sessions, webinars, and classroom instruction accessible to students with hearing disabilities, healthcare nonprofits can caption telehealth appointments and patient education sessions to serve diverse populations, advocacy organizations can ensure public meetings, policy briefings, and coalition calls include accessible communication, international development organizations can use Ava's multilingual translation to bridge language and hearing barriers in cross-cultural programs, and HR/DEI-focused nonprofits can create inclusive workplace environments by captioning all-staff meetings, performance reviews, and professional development sessions. Ava's nonprofit custom pricing program provides discounted access to organizations serving accessibility-focused missions or requiring captioning to meet ADA compliance, making professional-grade live captioning affordable for nonprofits that couldn't otherwise afford traditional CART services.
