I sent a note to Geoff Freed and he responded that > realmedia and windows media support real-time captions. Please exercise extreme care in using the term "support" in any reference to accessibility. Real and WiMP may be able to *display* real-time captions (streaming captions), but how do you get them *in*? Without a perfectly clear answer to that question, how are real-time captions truly "supported"? Sorry Joe I am not sure I understand why you are suggesting there is no clear answer to the question of how you get streaming captions into Realmedia and Windows media - Magpie makes that process relatively simple. I just checked and the WebAim course which is up to week 4 is covering this topic in detail this week for anyone who is interested. You need to register (http://www.webaim.org/training2002/)- but as most of you know - it is a free course. Denise
