Create Synchronized Captioning for Multimedia Files

Hi-Caption Studio provides users with the ability to quickly and easily create, test and manage synchronized captioning for Adobe Flash® Professional 8, Windows Media Player®, RealNetworks RealOne Player® and Apple QuickTime® productions using an easy-to-use interface. The resulting captioned multimedia files fulfill both Section 508 Rule (b) and W3C WCAG 1.0 Priority 1 checkpoint 1.4 accessibility requirements which state that just providing text transcripts of multimedia files is not adequate.

Hi-Caption provides an easy-to-use tool that allows you to professionally create synchronized captioning. The captioning file is stored in a SAMI, SMIL or XML file. HiCaption allows you to easily create the formatted captioning file without having to learn the underlying code behind it, similar to a Web editing program. For Flash Professional 8 presentations, Hi-Caption Studio integrates the ability to test, remediate and caption directly within the Flash authoring tool.

With Hi-Caption, you have the option of creating the captioning text while the media file plays, or if you have a written transcript of the text, the full-featured import wizard will import the text into the program, saving you from retyping it all. These captioning files are then used with your existing content delivery systems so end users of your media content can view closed captioning for your multimedia files. Hi-Caption also supports captioning multimedia files in multiple languages so that the audience may select and view captioning in the language of their choice.
