Toronto: Focus group on digital media captioning

[smartygirl]

I am having to change the date for this - it will be held instead in June, date TBC. Please spread the word and let me know if you would like to attend!

Participants needed for Focus Group in Toronto (Canada)

Have you ever tried to watch videos on the internet and been frustrated by poor-quality captions – or maybe there were no captions at all?
CHS is developing a captioning service for digital media (web videos etc.), and we need your help!

We are looking for 6 people who are culturally Deaf, oral deaf, deafened, or hard of hearing. ASL-English interpreting will be provided. Participants will be asked to watch a few captioned videos, fill out a questionnaire evaluating the quality of the captions, and participate in discussion on captioning quality. Refreshments will be served.

We welcome your opinions! The more feedback we get, the better the captions will be.

What: Focus Group on Captioning Quality
Where: CHS Toronto
When: 26 June, 2 o'clock
RSVP to me by PM by 19 June 2012

Maybe you could post this on the facebook Canadian Hard of Hearing Association page also? Sounds like fun but I'm not in Toronto.
