TECH BRIEFING: Introducing Captioning at Stanford (captioning.stanford.edu)

The Stanford Online Accessibility Program and the Office of Accessible Education are unveiling a work-flow application service that will assist content creators in ensuring captioned videos are produced at Stanford, easily, affordably, and accurately.

Increasingly, web-based video is becoming part of our academic toolbox. Using multi-media content on the web however introduces additional accessibility issues, and videos in particular require captioning to ensure conformance to accessibility guidelines and emerging state and federal laws. Happily, captioned videos also increase the shelf-life of your content by improving the search-ability and archive-ability of your media files.

Join John Foliot and Sean Keegan as they demonstrate and launch this new developer service for the Stanford community.
