[SEC508] Software for Captioning Multimedia Presentations

[William R Williams <wrwilliams@fs.fed.us>]

Hello,

As you know, 508 states (in part):

§ 1194.22 Web-based intranet and internet information and applications.
(b) Equivalent alternatives for any multimedia presentation shall be
synchronized with the presentation.

I am wondering if someone can recommend decent captioning software? We have
tried MagPie (with limited success) and I am about to recommend a purchase
of Hi-Caption Studio because it can apparently create caption files for the
4 common players used on the web: Windows Media Player, QuickTime, Real
Player and Flash.

Any experiences to report, good or bad, or suggestions/recommendations?
Thanks in advance!
