Nate from Captio AI
Nate writes the Captio AI blog: data, comparisons and guides about hearing loss, captions and access for deaf and hard of hearing people.
How the articles are written
Real questions first
Every article starts from a question people ask about hearing loss, captions or access, and answers it in the first paragraph.
Primary sources
Numbers come from the WHO, national health agencies, peer-reviewed studies and disability organisations. Each one links to its source at the bottom of the page.
Fair comparisons
Other apps and services are described from their own websites and store listings, checked on the day of writing, including where they do better than Captio AI.
Checked before it goes live
Articles are researched and drafted with the help of AI tools, then checked claim by claim against their sources before they are published. When a figure changes, the article and its date are updated.
