Send comments about live captioning to FCC

At this moment, comments about live captioning quality are especially important. Several consumer advocacy organizations and research centers have presented a petition to the FCC to inquiry on this topic. The National Association of the Deaf explains briefly on their website what this petition is about.

During this time of the year, with all the alerts about storms and hurricanes, is very important for users of captions to report the problems they have with live captions. To report these problems and, at the same time, to support the request made by the organizations regarding live captions quality, you can follow the next steps.

1. Go to the FCC's express comments page https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings/express.

2. Type 05-231 in the field labeled "Proceeding(s)." You will see the following text coming up "05-231 | In the Matter of Closed Captioning of Video Programming Telecommunications for the Deaf, Inc. Petition for Rulemaking." Select that text and follow to the next fields.
