Open captioning is also great for hearing people to learn English as a second language. People from other countries will improve reading English. Not just listening. Sometimes hearing people miss what is said so reading captioning is great.

This is brilliant. Finally. One step closer. 🎉

Why not set open closed caption on theater and drive thru theater too all over world as well for deaf community

Without Hollywood Theater in Springfield Missouri I feel sad since January 2023 because deaf community has been complained about devices glasses CC and they closed out of business. They went another movie cinema if movie has CC . That's painful how I feel about deaf community are very low and complained about glasses or box devices. I understand that but Hollywood Theater movie closed longer over a year. I don't understand why

Thank you Alex for the news and to the WONDERFUL trio of advocates! My other comment has disappeared. I encouraged New Yorkers to email Hochul, but the email address I listed was not the correct way. I'll update later if I remember.

Just wonder if y’all discuss with FCC and State Legislators regarding the open captioned for all theaters in all cities/rural towns in all states. It will be greatly nice to have open captioned and watch movies at same time at theaters. Cross fingers and toes!

We need here on Auburn & Opelika AL . We are complain about CC In our area . Need spread in 50 states , not few bull all states need it . Hearing people need stop blame us without CC to ignore it because they can hear & understand but we don’t . Not fair . We need stand up fifth for it against law to required for us not hearing. ADA should help us too.

Thanks for sharing 👍 😊

Oh heck yeah!!

Alex nice to hear about open captions on theaters. What update with NAD I heard have new CEO?? Seems out of loop again appreciate keep inform with us

Hawai’i still the same thing, they only do OC once a week only 2 different times in movies theaters it so frustrating because I’m working a lot hours I get off at 6:00pm there no OC available after that so I have to wait few months to watch at home, devices glasses captions is not really great most of times they mistake putting wrong movies had to run down to front desk waiting about 10 to 15 minutes finally guy show up told him that wrong movies list I miss about 20 to 25 minutes of shows so I’m so done with movies theater I just wait till streaming come out.

You don’t need to call NAD, deaf or government is fought for pass bill
