Closed captioning opens up the world of television to hearing impaired individuals. Viewers can read on the screen what may be difficult to hear. Closed captioning is a free service of the television industry. The Mycap decoder makes the captions visible. Closed captioning also provides in-home learning for students and children. It is an ideal way to learn the English language or improve reading skills.
Look for this symbol or CC in your TV listing guide for programs that are closed captioned. In addition to hundreds of hours each week on television that are closed captioned, there are nearly 3,000 captioned movies at home video stores.
