Andrew - just received your response and noticed the reply I sent a little time ago had bounced for some reason. As you will see I have made similar comments to yours - but there are a couple of additional links people may still want to check out.

Thanks for clarifying that Charles Magpie is used to create captions from prepared text which is synchronized using digitized video files. Captioning live webcasts is much more problematic. It can be done but requires the services of a steno reporter as well as the appropriate hardware and software (check out http://www.cpcweb.com/Captioning/cap_software_realtime.htm for more detail). However, probably easiest to use an existing specialist service. There are several around but I have no personal experience using these types of service providers: http://www.speche.com/e_scription.asp http://www.mediacaptioning.com/realtime.html http://www.rtreporters.com/howwe.html I believe Trace Centre ran a trial of captioning a live event (SC99 conference) and there was talk at that time of continuing work in this area but have not heard any more about this. Perhaps someone else may know whether Trace progressed this any further? Denise
