CCAC – the place to be for Captioning Advocacy

Out of the Mouths of Babes – #CaptiontheWorld

A new video – and the more the better – about quality captioning needed on all videos.

First a reminder about what CCAC calls “The Power of Captioning” –

Quality captioning is not only for people who are hard of hearing or deaf. It boosts search engines (they find text) so more of the world can find your video; it allows easier translations; it helps others learn new languages; captions are used by many others also (people with autism, tinnitus and no hearing loss, more). Captions ON in noisy places helps everyone (restaurants, waiting rooms, entertainment places, work cubicles).

#CAPTIONTHEWORLD

It’s about time, past time, needs must! Captioning is the world’s language. It’s not only for deaf, deafened and people with hearing loss (though mega-millions of us refuse to be “left out” any longer).

My favourite Deaf/HOH related blogs!

We are introduced to this blogger today – and happy to re-blog her useful listing. CCAC has one mission – Inclusion of Quality Captioning Universally. At the same time, while captioning serves so many millions, the majority of our members and fans, followers, and friends have a hearing loss, are deafened, or deaf. Join the CCAC also – the more the better to #CaptiontheWolrd. Go to http://CCACaptioning.org to learn more.
(Please note that the suggested donation is waived if a hardship for anyone. All revenue goes solely for captioning advocacy. CCAC is an official 501(c)3 non-profit and all volunteers. We advocate locally, nationally, and internationally. Hope to talk with you all soon.)
