Newest release of
HiSoftware Hi-Caption is available in

global test management solution for
organizing and managing the multimedia
captioning process
Concord, NH —July 29, 2002-HiSoftware,
Inc. today announced the release of
the Spanish language version of its
Accessibility solution, Hi-Caption,
which will provide accessibility
testers worldwide with a comprehensive
solution for managing the multimedia
captioning, in complete conformance
with standards mandated by Section 508
of the federal government's
Rehabilitation Act, as well as the
international accessibility guidelines
set forth by the World Wide Web
Consortium (W3C).
Section 508 of the
Rehabilitation Act Amendments, which
marked its one-year anniversary on
June 21, 2002, mandates that federal
agencies ensure that all electronic
and information technologies
purchased, maintained or developed
meet the accessibility standards
established by the U.S. Access Board.
Although federally mandated, state
governments and private organizations
can also benefit by adhering to these
standards, which enable access and
usability by the widest possible
audience.
In order for
multimedia to be accessible under
Section 508 Rule (b) and W3C WCAG 1.0
Priority 1 checkpoint 1.4, developers
must create synchronized captioning
with media files. Hi-Caption allows
for fast efficient creation, editing,
and testing of the captioning of
Multimedia. The captioning file is
stored in a SAMI file, which is an
acronym for Synchronized Accessible
Media Interchange. This file is very
similar to HTML, but is a different
language. Just as you would rather use
a web editor to create web files, this
program allows you to easily create
the formatted captioning file, without
having to learn the code behind it.
The Spanish language version of
Hi-Caption will allow multimedia
developers in Spanish speaking
countries to work with the leading
captioning software on the market
today, within their native language.
The software also supports captioning
multimedia files in multiple languages
so that they audience may select and
view captioning in the language of
their choice.
