summary

Claims that captioning raises watch rates from 66% to 91% viewership, that about 50 million US (≈20%) and 700 million worldwide have hearing loss, and that hearing loss ranks behind arthritis and heart disease as a public health issue. Advises against auto-captions, recommends hiring qualified transcribers, and demands verbatim captions include environmental sounds and colorful language. Recommends building transcripts for audio/podcasts, timed captions for videos, and real-time steno captioners for live events.
