The Caption Center's mission is to provide the widest possible access to television, video, digital media and feature films for deaf and hard-of-hearing people. To fulfill this commitment, The Caption Center dedicates itself to the following goals:

Produce captions for the greatest number of television programs, videos, digital media formats and feature films;
Heighten awareness of captioning and cultivate caption funders;
Develop software and systems to improve the caption production process and develop technologies to better serve the television, video, new media, feature film and deaf and hard-of-hearing communities;
Develop new captioning markets and broaden existing ones;
Serve as a resource for captioning software, systems and information to consumers and organizations that have an interest in captioning services;
Assist in the research and promotion of captioning to serve other populations such as those struggling with literacy or people learning English as a second language;
Examine how knowledge gained from captioning activities can be applied to a wider examination of access to all mass media for diverse populations with other special needs and interests.
