You see closed captioning everywhere nowadays. You probably even enjoy using it at home on your TV or when in a crowded place on your phone to watch videos.
Closed captioning is not only handy, but it is also a necessity for the Deaf and hard of hearing.
Closed captioning is also required by law.
In this session, Mark Shapiro speaks with Darlene Parker who has extensive closed captioning experience. She is an advisor to the FCC's Disability Advisory Committee. She retired from the Director of Partnership Development at the National Captioning Institute (a nonprofit captioning services company). Darlene was also the sixth person in the country to do real-time captioning for broadcasting.
Lily Bond, Senior Vice President of Marketing at 3Play Media, also joins Mark to dive deeper into services offered by closed captioning companies.
Lily and 3Play Media also provide a breakout session titled "Quick Start to Captioning."
