Captioning Solutions for Handheld Media and Mobile Devices<\/strong><\/p>\n

Millions of Americans of all ages use cell phones, PDAs or dedicated
\nportable media players to access content related to almost every aspect of
\ndaily life. Video content on portable devices ranges from streamed
\ntelevision programs and “Webisodes” to elementary school science
\nexperiments, from university lectures to health and behavior management
\ninformation for heart attack survivors. Companies increasingly use video
\npodcasts as cost-effective methods for delivering product and training
\nmaterials to their employees or customers. Emergency management agencies are
\ndeveloping alert and information systems that send content sent directly to
\nportable devices.<\/p>\n

However, the 22 million Americans who are deaf or hard-of-hearing cannot
\nbenefit from this content because mobile-video technologies do not address
\nthe technical requirements for packaging and delivering captions. Even
\nvideo-enabled mobile devices that have the technical capability of
\ndownloading captioned content from the Web do not provide user interfaces to
\nallow caption display.<\/p>\n

NCAM is researching these barriers and develop captioning solutions that
\nwill serve as models for the mobile media and technology industries and for
\npublic-policy developers. The project team has identified the problems that
\ncurrently exist in the creation and delivery of captions to mobile devices,
\nand is testing required accessibility changes in production tools, formats,
\ndelivery methods and display technologies. Prototypes model technical
\nsolutions for compression, packaging, identification, retrieval, downloading
\nand processing of captioned video to portable devices. Prototypes also model
\ncaption display options and explore customization capabilities; consumers
\nwho are deaf or hard-of-hearing are now evaluating the usability of project
\nsolutions.<\/p>\n

Project activities include:<\/p>\n

* creation of demonstration models that show multiple methods of creating,
\ndistributing, downloading and displaying captioned content on handheld
\ndevices;
\n* publication of usability research on accessible interface and
\ncaption-display options; distributing information for content creators,
\nservice providers, and third-party tool developers to create and transcode
\ncaptions;
\n* detailing the requirements necessary for non-proprietary as well as
\nproprietary text and video formats to render captions.<\/p>\n

Please note: On October 15, 2009, the Advanced Television Systems Committee
\n(ATSC) approved the A\/153 ATSC Mobile DTV Standard, which defines the
\ntechnical specifications necessary for broadcasters to provide services to
\nmobile and handheld devices using their DTV transmissions. ATSC Mobile DTV
\nsupports a variety of services including free (advertiser-supported)
\ntelevision, interactive services delivered in real-time, subscription-based
\nTV and content download for playback at a later time. A\/153 includes support
\nfor the transmission of CEA-708 closed-caption data. Download and read the
\nATSC Mobile DTV standard for complete details; see Part 7 for information
\nregarding closed captions.<\/p>\n
