CaptionsON is a public service campaign of VITAC – the nation’s leading provider of closed captioning and other accessible media services.

The primary purpose of the CaptionsON campaign is to heighten awareness of the positive impact quality captions can have on the lives of over 50 million Americans, including over 31 million people of all ages who are deaf or hard of hearing. In addition to highlighting the benefits of captions, CaptionsON is also committed to addressing the issues, questions and challenges faced by the ultimate end-user – the viewer.  In essence, our vision for the CaptionsON is simple:

Ensure quality captions are:

ON all devices that transmit audio and video,
ON par with audio quality among those who produce and distribute programming, and
ON the minds of educators and public officials.
