Television Captioning and Description

October 26th 2008 12:03
“Seeing is believing” for the millions of deaf individuals who rely on captioned video as a means of access to television, movies, and the increasingly ubiquitous videos in our lives. Likewise, those with blindness and vision impairments find that audio description brings to life the video images to which they’re otherwise denied access. As a society we’ve come much farther in providing captioning than we have in offering description, but rapidly evolving technologies pose significant challenges to both.


This issue of Family Center News and Notes tracks the history of captioning and description with three leaders in the field – Bill, Dianne, and Jason Stark – and looks at the current status of both. It’s an important topic and one we hope you’ll find of interest. In addition, Jenifer Simpson of the American Association of People with Disabilities provides important information on the transition from analogue to digital broadcasting.
