"The 52-page report called, 'Justice Disrupted,' detailed unreliable interpreting services, lack of translated documents and multilingual signage as major problems in Massachusetts courts decades after state and federal laws were enacted to improve access, according to the report released by the Massachusetts Language Access Coalition"

A new report says many Massachusetts residents who come to court each year still face barriers in navigating the court system, particularly if English isn’t their first language or if they are part of the deaf or hard of hearing community.

At VZP Digital, we meet clients at all stages of their accessibility journey. Some come to us with a clear plan, while others arrive with complex challenges and only one question:

“How do we make this truly accessible for everyone?”

That’s where the listening begins.

Every conversation reveals something different: a sports venue looking to reach Deaf fans, a university wanting to support multilingual students, or a government agency striving to make public information more inclusive. Each story reminds us that accessibility isn’t a single formula, it’s an ongoing collaboration.

We tailor every solution, whether it’s live captioning, audio description, or real-time translation, to meet the needs of the communities that need it most. Because true accessibility doesn’t start with technology; it starts with understanding.

✨ Accessibility is not one-size-fits-all.

It’s built through empathy, innovation, and the willingness to adapt.

This is why captions are so vital, not just for those who are deaf or hard of hearing, but for everyone.

Here are a few everyday ways captions make a difference:

📺 Entertainment: Watching movies or shows in a noisy environment (or with the volume low).

📱 Social Media & Online Content: Ensuring your videos are accessible and engaging, even on mute.

🎓 Education: Helping students follow along, take notes, and reinforce learning.

🌎 Language Learning: Supporting people learning a new language with visual reinforcement.

💼 Workplace Communication: Making meetings more inclusive and clear for all attendees.

🏥 Medical Appointments: Ensuring important health information is fully understood and not missed.

Captions aren’t just an accessibility feature, they’re a tool for connection, inclusion, and understanding.

💬 How have captions helped you in your everyday life?

Access isn’t optional, it’s the law.

When content isn’t accessible, it creates barriers. In education especially, those barriers can mean the difference between falling behind and unlocking potential.

By providing captions, translation, and audio description, we’re not just adding features, we’re ensuring inclusion, equity, and opportunity for everyone.

At VZP Digital, we believe that every learner deserves access to knowledge. Whether in a classroom, a training session, or a global conference, accessible content empowers people to connect, participate, and thrive.

What steps are your organization taking to ensure your content is accessible to all?

A young woman in a classroom types on her phone. At the bottom of the screen, a search bar appears with “VZP Reach.” A text box pops up: “Does anybody know the significance of the Treaty of Versailles?” She looks up, her eyes brighten, and she smiles wide.

Nightmares.. YIKES!

Captioning isn’t just about words on a screen, it’s about ensuring access, clarity, and connection.

One of our captioners, Heidi, who has been with us for five years, recently shared her experience that captures the heart of why this work matters.

“The truth is, to many, captioning may not seem like a matter of life and death. But to me, access to accurate information, whether in a meeting or a medical setting, can be absolutely life-altering. Access is not only important, it’s the law. And after 10 years of being part of this work, I deeply understand WHY it’s the law.”

How has accessibility, whether through captioning, interpretation, or other services, made a difference in your life or work?

A glimpse into the life of an overthinking captioner. “The client will send you a message. You’ll voice that message in the meeting by saying, ‘This is __ (Client’s Name),’ and then read their message aloud verbatim. You’ll also need to capture their message in your captions, along with ...

✨ Happy Monday! ✨

Well, that certainly makes zero sense.

Imagine knowing something urgent is happening like breaking news but not being able to fully access it. You can see people are being urged to act. You know updates are being shared. But the critical details never make it through.

That’s the reality for millions of people without captioning, ASL, audio description, or translation services. Access isn’t just about inclusion, it’s about safety, equity, and the law. Without it, information gaps can be dangerous.

If you have a message, make sure you provide proper access. Everyone deserves the full story.

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month

It is a time to recognize the immense contributions of people with disabilities in the workplace and to reaffirm the importance of creating inclusive environments where everyone can thrive.

Accessibility is not an added benefit, it’s essential. Services like real-time captioning, audio description, sign language interpretation, and more break down barriers so individuals can fully participate in meetings, training, events, and day-to-day tasks. These tools don’t just support employees, they empower them to contribute their skills, perspectives, and creativity without limitation.

When workplaces commit to accessibility, they’re not only supporting individuals in their roles but also strengthening their teams and communities.
