Captioning for You!

“CART is specifically designed to provide live captioning for individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing and is the highest quality transcription service available with 98.5% accuracy. Captioning is a rising trend not only for individuals who are deaf but also for people experiencing mild to moderate hearing losses and even for those who do not have hearing loss, due in large part to greater access to captioning on TV and on the internet. In fact, current research has found that up to 80% of people who use captioning in the home do not have hearing loss. “

Sound Is Not enough; Captioning as Universal Design:  http://www.amazon.com/Sound-Not-Enough-Captioning-Universal/dp/0986350621

“Universal Design is the development of products and environments that are usable by all people to the greatest extent possible without the need for an adaptation or a re-design. An example of a Universal Design feature is captioning videos. Offering video content in an online class can provide another way to gain knowledge – by listening and viewing a video in addition to reading printed material. But if you don’t caption the videos, then it’s not 

accessible to some people in your course, such as students who have hearing impairments. Once you caption your video, then you’ll see it not only benefits someone who’s deaf but it benefits someone where English is not their first language. It benefits someone who just wants to see the spelling of a technical word you might be using, or people whose written understanding of English is better than their verbal comprehension, and those that have audio 

processing issues that make it better for them to access content in writing. So, if you caption your videos, then it benefits everyone—a large portion of your class, not just students who are deaf…..This is in contrast to an accommodation approach, which would wait until a student who is deaf enrolls in your class and then find some way—often scrambling—to find some way to provide access to that video very quickly."

Churches ought to apply Universal Design in order to reach a wider portion of the deaf

and hard of hearing by providing live real time captioning during the service.  Not every

one knows sign language.  Not everyone can use audio induction systems or FM systems,

and other assistive listening devices. Not everyone can read lips in a group setting or when

the oral interpreter shuts their voice off  for peole who use lipreading in combination with residual 

hearing.  But most people with hearing loss, deafness, deaf and hard of hearing can read

captioning.  More people can have access to the word of God via real time captioning of

the services using a Universal design like captioning.
