DeafDigest - 05 November 2021

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - November 5, 2021 -- many do not know about this FCC rule FCC requires all TV captioned programs to be captioned if shown over the internet. Captions must stay on; cannot be removed! If we are talking about streaming? Yes, must be captioned no matter if distributors, providers and owners of such videos scream themselves blue in their faces. This is the rule that many people, not in the entertainment field, are aware of.   -- ugly compromises it is an old story that the living room only has one TV set; the deaf watching it wants captions turned on at all times; the hearing person wants captions turned off at all times. Two suggested compromises, both ugly - is that sound is turned off and captions also turned off. Second compromise is that one of them watch on the house 2nd TV set that is located in a bedroom. Compromise is supposed to be win-win, but in these TV cases, it is lose-lose and very ugly!   -- these so many words An interpreter said there are so many words that do not have ASL signs. It is always a challenge for the interpreter to quickly invent signs that deaf clients never saw before! ASL-knowledgeable deaf clients will catch on quickly; deaf that know ASL but may struggle with it, may never catch these quickly invented signs!       Deaf jobs - latest update http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ 10/31/21 Blue and Gold editions & sub options at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
