We are excited to announce that Concord is piloting new software called Wordly to make our Council meetings more accessible to the non-English speaking community. Here's what you need to know:
-
Real-Time Translations: Meeting attendees can use their smartphones to listen to (with headphones or earbuds) or read a transcript of the meeting in real time, available in 40+ languages.
-
Two-Way Communication: The new software will allow two-way communication between audience members and Councilmembers.
-
Easy and Free Access: The technology is free to use and does not require registration. Simply scan a QR code to access the audio and/or transcript.
-
Starting Soon: Information about how to log in and use the technology will be provided at council meetings beginning on Tuesday, August 13.
