Captioned Superbowl Ads!

As many of you may be aware of, they don't often caption or subtitle TV advertisements online for the deaf and hard of hearing. That was always the case with Superbowl ads ever since they started airing them online on a yearly basis following the Super Bowl event.

Today, that is no longer the case. I received an e-mail from John Erskine, the co-founder of ProjectReadon.com. They are captioning a number of Superbowl ads for everyone on the internet. John has assured me that they will be captioning even more Superbowl ads as they become available online.

If there are some Superbowl ads missing on the Project Readon website; you can submit it via their "Request a Video" feature. I would suggest that you wait for a few days before submitting it. I already mentioned that they are planning on adding more to the website within days.

Just click here to gain access to the Superbowl webpage on the Project Readon website. I want to let the Project Readon team know how grateful I am for their service to the deaf and hard of hearing community. Their dedication to providing such a service is making a big impact on the internet.

Enjoy the Superbowl ads!

By the way, congratulations to the New York Giants for winning the Superbowl game!

  3. I am very happy with Project Readon is very important for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing community. I am pleased with them.

    Please note: if there's no captioning, try a refresh button, then captioning. If not again, please
    try it again. If there's would be
    here, problem solved.
    If not at least few time, you will
    check back later. I hope you will
    enjoying captioned Super Bowl
    ADs. Too bad for FCC is ignoring,
    so we don't need to complain
    to FCC or a lawmaker.
