Braille Telecaptioning: Making Real-Time Television Accessible to Deaf-Blind Consumers.

Biederman-Anderson, L.

Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, v83 n3 p164-65 Mar 1989

A federal grant has been awarded to develop and test a prototype device to make closed-captioned television available to deaf-blind people. The Braille TeleCaption System, with output available in braille and large print, is currently being tested. Such new technology makes real-time viewing of news, weather, and entertainment accessible to deaf-blind persons. (Author/DB)
