Captioning: Shared Perspectives

摘要

The conference format was designed to allow meetings of special interest groups as well as to facilitate sharing among all participants. The whole group participated in several sessions addressing different philosophies of captioning, including verbatim and edited captioning. Some of the events which occurred during the conference were: A captioning showcase where participants displayed a variety of captioned programs which they had produced; An audience panel consisting of deaf viewers who shared their feelings about and perceptions of captioned television, and a 5-1/2 minute program segment captioned by five different agencies, each in their distinctive captioning style.
