Reach a wider audience
Open the doors of your event to an audience that has long been left out, leaving no one behind.
HEAR THE WORLD. BE CONNECTED.
Connect Me Too® is an Italian live audio description service developed by CMT Translations, used by 8 Serie A football clubs, the Italian national football team and the Italian national rugby team, as well as theatres such as Teatro Carlo Felice, to make events accessible to blind and visually impaired people through a free app for iOS and Android.
There is a goal that erupts, an aria that moves you, a finale that takes your breath away: and there is someone who, in that very moment, is left in the dark. Connect Me Too® is the live, real-time audio description service that gives that moment back to people with a visual impairment, making sporting and cultural events, concerts and live theatre performances accessible. We select and train audio describers at our Academy, take care of the technology, and manage the event from start to finish.
For clubs, theatres, and event organizers, this means opening the doors to an audience that has long been left out, with a solution that is ready to use and already proven in the field. Spectators listen to professional audio description directly on their smartphone, through our free app and their own headphones.
In Italy, 1.5 million people with visual impairments love sport, music, and theatre as much as anyone else. With Connect Me Too® you can let them experience the event independently, at the very same moment as everyone else.
Making an event accessible is not an isolated gesture: it is a choice that says who you are. With Connect Me Too® it is easy to activate: we select and train the audio describers at our Academy, take care of the technology, and manage the event from start to finish.
Accessibility is no longer an optional extra: it is an essential part of every sporting, cultural, and entertainment experience. The European Union has placed it among the priorities of its Strategy for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities 2021-2030. With Connect Me Too®, clubs, organizations, and brands turn this direction into concrete action.
Open the doors of your event to an audience that has long been left out, leaving no one behind.

Technology, audio describer training, and event management: we take care of everything, from start to finish.

The platform that makes every event accessible through professional real-time audio descriptive commentary
Connect Me Too® is a real-time audio accessibility platform, designed, developed, and tested together with blind and visually impaired individuals. Originally delivered via radio, the system has been completely transformed and is now fully digital, thanks to an iOS and Android app that works on smartphones using a 4G or 5G network connection.

In football it is used by 8 Serie A clubs, including AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Genoa, Lecce, Hellas Verona, Como 1907 and SSC Napoli, alongside a collaboration with the FIGC and its adoption by the Italian national team during the World Cup fixtures.
