Marlee Matlin speaks at an FCC hearing about internet captioning
Marlee Matlin testified recently at an FCC hearing held at Gaudelet University about the need for captioning on Internet video feeds. She was active in the effort twenty years ago to caption all television broadcasts, and also to caption videos. Needless to say, with sophistication of computer technologies these days, it’s absurd that captioning isn’t available on streaming video programing, live news feeds, and internet versions of previously-captioned films. The most egregious example she gives is coverage of the unveiling ceremony for the Helen Keller statue in the Capitol rotunda in DC. I mean, REALLY?
