Assistive Technology and the Classroom 4

Captioning


Captioning displays text transcription of auditory information on a screen (such as a television screen or LCD). Captioning allows hearing-impaired viewers to follow spoken dialogue or narration by reading text.  Captioning would be helpful in the regular classroom and it would also help students at home.  It enables students to see text whether it is on TV, computers or through an LCD projection.  Closed captioning is now available for more and more programs.
