I work with CaptionAccess, which provides the type of services covered in the article. One reason there isn't more captioning is because people associate captioning with disabled people and accessibility.

The article began with people looking into captioning as a means of meeting an accessibility need (a speaker losing a hearing aid) and ended with the discovery that there are many other benefits beyond accessibility. It was a great read and everyone won. Many planners never get to that point.

The lack of widespread real-time captioning isn't a technical or cost issue, it's an education issue.

Hi captdeaf, would you please email me at liamotootle@gmail.com? Several of my friends are RIT graduates and our circles of acquaintances may overlap. I'd also like to ask some questions about your deaf office and the CI, if you don't mind. Thanks!

Hat's off to you. Nice write up - looking forward to learning from the code you're sharing as well. Thank you.

Is it possible the side projects are not interesting enough? If they feel like work, rather than fun, it may be hard to keep plugging away at them after a long day of coding.
