Accessibility Video & Closed Captioning for IP-delivered Video | GOL News

Our Commitment to Accessibility

At GOL News, we are dedicated to ensuring that all our content is accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We believe that everyone should have equal access to information, and we are committed to providing accessible video content through closed captioning and other accessibility features.

What is Closed Captioning?

Closed captioning is a text version of the spoken part of a television, movie, or computer presentation. It includes not only the dialogue but also other relevant parts of the soundtrack—descriptions of sound effects, music cues, and speaker identification. Closed captioning is especially beneficial for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, but it can also aid in understanding for non-native speakers and those in noisy environments.

Benefits of Closed Captioning

  • Accessibility: Ensures that individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing can access video content.
  • Comprehension: Enhances understanding for non-native speakers and those with learning disabilities.
  • Convenience: Useful in noisy environments where audio cannot be heard clearly.
  • Engagement: Increases viewer engagement and retention by providing a visual aid.

Our Closed Captioning Standards

We adhere to the highest standards for closed captioning to ensure clarity, accuracy, and timeliness. Our closed captioning includes:

  • Synchronized Text: Captions are accurately timed with the spoken words and sounds.
  • Comprehensive Coverage: All spoken dialogue and relevant sounds are included.
  • Clear and Readable: Text is easy to read with appropriate size, font, and contrast.
  • Correct Placement: Captions do not obstruct important visual content.
