Captioned Radio: An Idea Whose Time has Come

Radio broadcasts in a text format for deaf persons and for hard of hearing persons is finally becoming far more real thanks to a new public-private consortium that will provide captioning on car LCD displays. National Public Radio stations, Harris Corporation and Towson University in Maryland will be the headquarters for the new International Center for Accessible Radio Technology (ICART). The consortium plans to develop both home and car radios. See the PC Magazine article on this new technology.
