ACMA improves closed captioning with Television Captioning Quality Standard

The Australian Communications and Media Authority has today revealed codes that govern closed captioning for television as well as a series of videos featuring both captions and Australian signers explaining what the new code means.

The Television Captioning Quality Standard sets rules about the quality of captions for television services requiring them to be readable, accurate and comprehensible.

The informational videos have been released on the ACMA website and explain how to report or complain about any associated television broadcast captioning issues.
