Captioning
What's the difference between subtitles and captions?
Subtitles are for a hearing audience. Captions include auditory information like speaker identification and sound effects.
What is Tactile ASL?
When someone uses regular American Sign Language signs and a DeafBlind person puts their hands on top of the signer's.
Which ASL response can be used for both a really good thing and a really bad thing? It also works as an intensifier for both good things and bad things.
AWFUL
What's the difference between closed and open captions?
Closed captions are hidden; you have to go enable them. Open captions are always there; you can't take them off.
What are haptics?
The practice of giving additional non-language visual information to DeafBlind people through touch, like scratching their leg to show that the audience is laughing, or drawing the layout of a room.
What would be the correct ASL response to "I've been working on a difficult college course every night for hours, and after four months, last night I finished!"
FINALLY (PAH)
When were the TDCA (captioning law) and the Americans with Disabilities Act passed?
1990
What is ProTactile?
A newer method of communication DeafBlind people have developed, using the conversation partner's body as a surface to sign on and evolving ASL signs to be more tactile.
What would be an appropriate response in ASL to "I just slipped on a banana peel and fell down the stairs!"
OOPS (or AWFUL or PITY)
Which two types of captioning involve a live person typing on a machine?
C-PRINT and CART
What is Braille?
The system of raised dots that blind people use to have access to printed text.
What would be the appropriate response in ASL to "I didn't study at all for my test, and I just failed."
TOO-BAD
What's the difference between CART and C-PRINT?
CART is word-for-word/verbatim, not designed for Deaf people. C-PRINT is meaning-for-meaning, making it easier to read and including visual information that a Deaf reader might miss.
Explain how DeafBlind people learn language.
First, they make a connection between physical objects and symbols. They seek more of those connections as soon as one has been formed. Later, they can learn Braille to have a writing system, at which point they can learn to read.
What would be the appropriate ASL response to "I was this close to getting laid off at my job, but at the last minute, I found out I get to keep my job."
