5. Some of the bigger captioning companies that I have had contact with and that have well-developed websites are:   WGBH’s “The Caption Center” (www.wgbh.org); CaptionMax (www.captionmax.com); NCI, The National Captioning Institute (http://www.ncicap.org/); VITAC (http://www.vitac.com/). Most of these companies and their sites discuss literacy skills-based research on the effects of captioning, local news of importance to the deaf/hard-of-hearing community, information about their company and the technology behind captioning, consumer feedback mechanisms, and links to deaf-related sites on other technologies and issues.  In addition, much of captioning was once supported largely by the U.S. Department of Education in conjunction with these major organizations or companies but is increasingly supported by funding from other corporations these days—corporations such as 7up, American Express, BellSouth, Buick, Cadillac, Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, JCPenney, Kellogg, McDonald's, MCI, Motorola, Sprint, Toyota.
