Live Captioning: Accommodating Deaf-blind users

Hi,
For web platforms that present live presentations or meetings, how would it work best if we were to have a facility that would allow people who are deaf-blind to participate in real time and interact with the meeting presenter? I know that this can be done easily after the meeting with something like a transcript. My concern would be text scrolling off the screen, or differing support among screen readers and various Braille displays.

Thanks.

Jim
