Washington, USA (TVTechnology): The FCC opened a proceeding to assess how its closed-captioning rules are working. The proceeding seeks comments on compliance and quality issues that were raised in a petition filed by several organizations doing advocacy for the deaf.
A few of those issues include adopting standards for transcription accuracy; creating additional procedures for addressing technical problems; standardizing monitoring mechanisms; changing the complaint process; instituting fines for noncompliance; requiring compliance reports; and banning the use of electronic newsroom captioning as a substitute for closed captioning beyond the top 25 markets.
