Of course they do! It's cheaper! :) I suppose if they are dead-set against professional captioning, you -could- pay for the skilled professionals to come in and provide expert training on a periodic basis, to your underpaid student workers. It -could- inspire some of them to further explore the field and spark their own interests. And that would mean more audio description professionals in a few years... Or, at least, one could always hope. --Kynn, looking for the silver lining -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@reef.com> Technical Developer Liaison Reef North America Accessibility - W3C - Integrator Network Tel +1 949-567-7006 ________________________________________ BUSINESS IS DYNAMIC.
