If anyone knows of ” closed caption” or related listings that we could fit on our site http://www.ovdirectory.com and would suggest listings we would really appreciate it!. Currently we do not have any or a category but would like to open up to this if it was desired. Thanks in advance for any leads!

This website is several years old 2009′

I believe a simple updatedl list with links to Captioned Programming would be most helpfull either as content or by accessities.org

alot has improved in past few years but still a fraction of what should be Captioned Programming is….

The webplayer software need to be reviewed a lot. The captioning as well as streaming should be embedded in every player

Captioning has many uses and fills many needs, especially today, we are a global community now, and ever more so, as each year passes.
Example:
I met my wife in Russia and she is now living in the US with me. Captions helped her to learn the English language quickly, and understand it on a level that books and classrooms do not teach.

I hate when they say that there will be captioning but when the program comes on it isn’t. I also find webplayer a big disappointment.

[…] Posted by rbwatson1 on September 11, 2009 Jen Rohrig and I have something in common. We just avoid videos online because we know the chances of them having captions are slim. […]

@Single Maria - Agreed about the excuses. I love the ones about how annoying it is to see words on the screen - which I can understand people being easily distracted while watching but a) they can turn it off if they want and b) it’s not like they can’t still here whatever show it is that they are watching.

@HTML Basic Tutor - there are any number of reasons why someone might want captions.

@Thom Lohman - yeah ABC is really annoying especially as they actually just came out with a new video player and I had hoped their system for captioning would change but apparently not. Also thank you for the links to the DIY Captioning - I’ll definitely check that it out.

@codeman38 - That’s something I didn’t check when I was working on this, thanks for pointing that out. I know Hulu has captions on full screen mode as that is the site I usually use to watch videos.
