Making the Digital World Even More Accessible

As many already know, Ossian Productions believes in accessibility of video. Just see our sister site here: Subtitles & Closed Captioning

So we were very pleased to read today, on Reel SEO's blog, that the US Congress had passed an accessibility bill [ Twenty-first Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act (S. 3304) and the Twenty-first Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act (H.R. 3101) ].

The two bills that have been passed will expand the requirement for web video captioning and accessibility services.
Specifically, they will require that any captioned television program be captioned when delivered over the Internet, and;
they also require all devices large enough for video to be equipped to support captioning functionality.
