Researchers at Towson University in suburban Baltimore are working on new technology that will allow for closed captioning of radio broadcasts for those with hearing impairments.

(Now this is a good idea!) 

The new system, which could be marketed next year if all goes well, was tested Tuesday night in conjunction with NPR's coverage of the presidential election.
