I mentioned you in my email about the legislative meeting this Friday. I got this information from Denise Phillips with Captions Unlimited of Nevada, Inc.

They will be there providing CART, too . And it will be streamed (captioned) to the Internet as well. It would be great if lots of people logged in to the captioning so the powers that be will realize it’s a need in the community.

To access the streaming captioning on the legislature’s website, go to http://www.leg.state.nv.us/. Go to the right of the page to Live Meetings/Listen View. Then scroll down and find the captioning link under the listing of the meeting. It will open up and you will see text on one side. If you don’t see text, you could have a pop-up blocker blocking the text. So hit CTRL (the control button) at the same time as you hit the captioning link. It will disable popup blockers on that page.

If you have any questions or are unable to access the text, feel free to email denise@captionsunlimited.com or shawn@captionsunlimited.com.
