DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - December 11, 2017   -- hearing customers don't read text messages Yu Yahui, who is deaf, delivers food for a living in China. He makes it a point to text his customers in advance to confirm delivery and arrival times. He has problems with hearing customers that don't read texts, thinking these were prank no-voice calls! A picture is at: http://deafdigest.com/problems-with-no-voice-texts/   -- an ADA win is not really a win There was a story today that many attorneys like to file ADA lawsuits, because it means quick money for them. The clients only get $500 on the average while attorneys get much more in thousands of dollars. But what is worse - is that captioning access is not always increased despite these quick settlements!   -- biggest captioning agency in USA For years NCI and Caption Center were both the biggest captioning agencies in USA. Not any more. It is VITAC, which merged with Caption Colorado earlier this year. Does size mean better and best captions? Hope so.     Latest deaf jobs - today's update http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ Barry's collections of past articles (with today's update) -- a movie possibly bringing painful memories for some http://deafdigest.com/collections/barrys-collections/ 12/10/17 Blue and Gold editions at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
