julie, you can take a look at this site, http://forum.videohelp.com/top.....ml#1431371
and yes it’s very pc.. and very … geek :/

as for solutions on mac there aren’t any due to low demands. but i believe apple will eventually phased out old videos with new ones that are close captioned.

Correct — it doesn’t. Only to broadcast media, DVDs, etc.

Don’t know of any. You might get lucky sometimes on Overstream with subtitled music videos. Some people take the time to grab the lyrics and sync it up with the music videos…

Don’t think current Federal legislation applies to Internet content, which is frustrating.

P.S. I wonder if it’s possible to sue people who refuse to do captioning on the basis that doesn’t provide us the deaf/hoh the equal access to info?

I wonder if there are any devices that convert podcasts and video files into text? I’m trying to push webmasters and website owners to follow web accessibility to add transcriptions for podcasts and videos. They complain how expensive it is and ask me if there are any voice-to-text conversions such as Dragon Speaking.. It drives me nuts when we see podcasts or videos but can’t hear them.. When I see some conference materials, most of them are podcasts and I ask them to provide with transcripts. They oppose even though I tell them about the ADA. I had to contact FCC who said they aren’t responsible for captioning for web and also contacted NAD who hasn’t replied to my inquiries. Are there any laws we can use to force those hearing people to comply with web standards?

Any suggestions? Thanks

Awesome, Bobby, thanks! Was wondering if you knew of any sites that provide subtitles for music videos. The links you provide here seem to focus on feature-length movies and not music videos?
