Captioned Radio for the Deaf
Sunday January 6, 2008
PC Magazine reports that Harris Communications has worked with partners to develop a means of captioning radio for deaf listeners. It is not the first time this idea has been thought of, but it is progress that an actual system has been developed, and demonstrated. The system is aimed at "talk radio." Now if only in the future it gets expanded so I have an equal shot at learning about traffic bottlenecks...

maybe we can it expended for use on GPS. Difficult to see the directions and drive at the same time. I certainly agree with you about the traffic bottle necks
This is good.
My wife and I once almost drove through a tornado.
If she were on her own, she wouldn’t have been able to hear the weather warnings (although, the warnings don’t really help if you’re driving THROUGH the storm at the time)
Good!!!!! But would it work w/ music? I know it a lot of work to ask for, but it can be done. There is so many people that do like to hear music on the radio, even if they are D/deaf or HoH.
hmm, what’s the update on captioned radios? is there such a thing out there nowadays?
or is this another one of these marketing gimmicks where a company pledges and starts a “demo” to look charitable and gain free publicity, only to stop short along the way and focus on a different deal, leaving us in the dust once again?
