Note: SFLERP uses the ZOOM platform with a passcode and prior registration. Some Federal agencies do not allow the use of Zoom on government computers. In some instances, participants may have to use their personal equipment. It would be best if you inquired with your agency’s IT department.
Speech-to-Text Services: All SFLERP’s online training is compatible with most speech-to-text services, such as Google Live Transcribe for Android, Otter, and Live Transcribe for iOS. Please let us know if you use these systems, so the speaker knows that the training is being transcribed.
