DeafCode Launches Captionfish.com, a Captioned Film &
Movies Search Engine
May 2009
Editor: Folks with hearing loss who like to go to movies are probably
familiar with fomdi.com, which has been helping us locate captioned movies
for years. Now DeafCode has launched captionfish.com, which provides a
similar service.
Here's their press release.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DeafCode, LLC. announces the launch of its first beta of
Captionfish.com. It is the first website to integrate an Instant CC Film
Finder(tm), which provides immediate and effortless custom results within
30 miles of a chosen location, refreshed on each visit to Captionfish.com.
Results for up to 7 days in the future and 60 miles away are available at
the click of a button. "The DeafCode Team was inspired to create
Captionfish because of the need to find a comprehensive list of captioned
movies in one place," said Chris Sano, DeafCode, LLC. Co-Founder. "We've
received a tremendously positive response and feel Captionfish has the
potential to become one of the most popular online destinations for the
deaf and hard-of-hearing. We are adding more theaters every day and will
continue to enhance the website's functionality with new features - many
driven by our visitors' feedback."
