Services: Meeting the needs of millions across the United States

     At NCI, we are committed to providing total media accessibility. Whether you are deaf; hard-of-hearing; blind or have low vision; learning English as a second language; or looking to improve your reading skills or those of your family, NCI’s services are here to help.

      NCI was founded in 1979. We pioneered the captioning process then, and continue to be at the forefront of media accessibility services today. NCI captions many of your favorite news, sports and entertainment television shows. We caption pre-recorded television shows and a wide range of live, on-the-spot news and sporting events. NCI also captions and subtitles many movies and shows released on home video and DVD. The actual captioning process is performed by a team of highly trained caption editors and technical engineers working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to bring you the highest-quality captions in the industry.

      While captioning remains our hallmark, NCI recently opened a new department devoted to described media. This process helps people who are blind or have low vision enjoy television by describing for them in detail the unspoken action on screen.

      In all, NCI’s services touch the lives of some 100 million Americans across the country. Explore this site, and let us help you, too!
