..................................................................................................................................................... Why Choose CPC? FoundersDr. Dilip K. Som, Ph. D. Physics. Co-Founder, President and Chief Technical OfficerDr. Som has been the world’s leading closed captioning software developer since 1986. He has earned a reputation in the captioning community as the “guru of captioning” for his vast knowledge of the captioning field. He has made innumerable
software breakthroughs in the captioning field beginning in 1986 with the
design, development and launching of the first PC based teleprompting/closed
captioning software. His other “firsts” in the captioning field include:
Dr. Som earned his Ph. D. in Physics from the City University of New York. He co-founded CPC with Sid Hoffman in 1985. Sidney Hoffman, M.S. Computer Systems, M.A. Audiology. Co-Founder and Vice PresidentSid has a total of 28 years of experience in the captioning and teleprompting field. Sid earned a Master’s degree in Audiology (testing hearing and doing therapy with the hearing impaired), and a second Master’s in Computer Information Systems. While in graduate school, he moonlighted as a hands-on teleprompter operator, working on shows such as the “CBS Evening News” with Dan Rather, and the soap operas “One Life To Live” and “All My Children”. As a teacher of the speech and hearing handicapped he realized the vast need for closed captioning for both the profoundly deaf and those with moderate and mild hearing losses. As a practical visionary, he has been instrumental in directing, developing and marketing CPC’s caption products, suitably combining his academic knowledge in Audiology and Information Technology to serve the hearing impaired community. Sid’s Master’s thesis
(which was published in the “Journal of the Acoustical Society of America”)
focused on the hearing problems of the elderly. ____________________________________________ Since 1985, we have been the industry leader in captioning, subtitling & teleprompting software.

- Butch Zeigler, Capitol Prompting Service "We use our CPC prompting software for many high pressure productions, such as ‘America’s Most Wanted’.
