Summary

With the explosion of the DVD and digital television technologies since the beginning of the new millennium, the CAD recognized concerns and misinformation as to the impact these developments might have on captioning in specific, and on the accessibility of media and high technology in general. So, the challenges the CAD undertook in its present research project was essentially twofold. We wanted to make sure the new technology would benefit rather than harm the ability of captioning consumers to access programming. We also wanted to investigate the progress it promised towards making it feasible for the consumers to control their own access to programming.
