How To Caption for Everyone

 
 
I am a currently a junior at UNH in the Occupational Therapy program.  I took on this Independent Study on how to caption videos with the challenge to find a way to make educational videos accessible for the Deaf and Hearing Impaired in cost effective way.


Why caption?

Captions are becoming more and more used for television and on the internet. Captions are used on televisions in bars, airports and at the gym. As well as in Universal Course Design. As a visual learner myself having captions to go along with educational videos just reinforces what I am seeing and hearing.


Reason for this site:


This project was done as an independent Study at the University of New Hampshire for the purpose of learning how to caption videos and comparing the pros and cons of each method in a cost effective way.
