"Gary D. Robson is one of the foremost experts in the field of closed captioning. He was the 1997 recipient of the Telecommunications for the Deaf Andrew Saks Engineering Award for ""outstanding contributions in improving visual accessibility to information via realtime captioning for deaf and hard-of-hearing Americans. An author of two books and over 50 articles on captioning-including the World Book Encyclopedia entry-he also designed closed captioning software which became the standard tool for the industry. Gary is an independent captioning consultant in Montana."
A 'biblical' tome for captioning--this book will be referenced by those in the captioning industry in the years to come. The industry owes it to Gary Robson. Honestly, without Gary, there is very little out there documenting the development of captioning, from both a historical and technical point of view. Philip W. Braven, ex-President of the National Captioning Institute and former Chairman of the Gallaudet University Board of Trustees
