Abstract	October 11, 1982, was a historic day for hearing-impaired people. For the first time, a nationally televised news program, ABC's World News Tonight, was closed-captioned as it was occurring. Real-time or live captions are written on a stenotype machine connected to a computer, which translates the stenotype shorthand into English words and formats the captions. The captions are then broadcast as part of the television signal, using the Line 21 system. The National Captioning Institute has also used its real-time system to caption other live television broadcasts, such as space shuttle launches, awards programs, and news conferences. As with captioning in general, real-time captioning provides an opportunity and motivation to improve reading skills. It also makes it possible for hearing-impaired people to be informed at the same time, and through the same medium, as everyone else. In addition, this technology offers a new approach to providing access to classroom lectures and discussions.
