CAPTIONING

Video captioning was once primarily for the benefit of the hearing impaired, but is now a benefit to all, especially when the video is being broadcast in a large public space like an airport or even a doctor's waiting room. Deque will make your online multimedia accessible to the widest audience with our advanced captioning tools.

Access technology is now available so that:

• Individuals with hearing impairment can access audio content.
• Individuals with vision impairment can access video content.
• Individuals with cognitive disabilities can refer to text descriptions / transcripts.

How can Deque help you make multimedia content accessible?

• Deque can provide guidance for creating captions for audio content and text transcripts for video content.
• Deque uses Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language, the technology recommended by the W3C to synchronize captions with the multimedia presentation so that it is meaningful. This process supports MPEG and AVI formats that can be run on popular media players—Windows Media, Real Media and QuickTime.
• Deque can also make Macromedia Flash content accessible.
• Deque can create the Web page or provide the code for linking to accessible content.
