Captions must meet specific requirements to be USEFUL & EFFECTIVE.
Must be accurate -- Relay ALL content/environmental sounds -- Be readable -- Timed properly, esp 2-way conversations -- Must not cover graphics.

It’s been an hour and a half. No one showed up to fix things. It’s very unfortunate for people who rely on accurate captioning for access to communications. Thank you for responding.

[Kimberly Shea, NCSP, CRC @saidshea]

@DallasLoveField at Gate 14, TV monitor is muted and no equal & effective communication access (captions) are available for people with disabilities. Weather/shooting updates/news/etc is INACCESSIBLE to all. Operations was notified 10 mins ago.

[Kimberly Shea, NCSP, CRC @saidshea]

@Lautenschlager7 @GCaptioning unsure of streaming service or region.

[Kimberly Shea, NCSP, CRC @saidshea]

@torikamal @GCaptioning this was a Hulu stream. Unsure of region.
