Re: New Topic: Audio and Video Compliance: Transcripts vs Closed Captions

I have worked with 3playmedia.com <http://3playmedia.com/> to turn my transcripts into captions, they make it super easy. It is a paid service, but if you have a volume of videos, might be well worth the money (and time savings)

An item we are stuck on and could really use some guidance is transcripts vs closed captions. Our current process requires us to provide a transcript for all audio and video in our courses. We do not require closed captioning, but sometimes it is included. Can anyone tell me if we are required to offer closed captioning too? Looking at the standards and guidelines and other sites, I have read contradictory information. Thanks!
