New Project on Understanding User Responses to Live Closed Captioning in Canada

To date there has been no reliable research conducted on consumers’ subjective reactions to, and preference for, different forms of live captioning in Canada, and this is limiting the ability to achieve progress on improving accessibility to broadcasting.
