That would require some pretty close synch with the video playback
engine to let VO know when the video was paused, rewound etc. Probably
best to let VO read the end result which is the ticking text of the
caption and let the player keep that caption text in sync with the video.

Seems me you right, Chris.
But maybe the wrong isn't the way that Google implement the caption
but how Apple implement the hotspots. I'll send to Apple our
discussion, to see if it is possible to do something or to give us
more information about how to use the hotspot.
Another option, if VisioVoice (from AssistiveWare) read the srt or txt
file [1] respecting the timetables (we coded in this files) it will be
possible to produce one audio file to syncronised with our movie. Is
not the same, but maybe works...
Thanks,

Seems like hotspots would do the trick but I couldn't get it to work.
Under the hood there is a span with a class of "captions-text" which I
assume is where my hotspot is attached when I set one. But when the next
caption is inserted, instead of updating the text inside that span the
entire span is destroyed and re-created. I'm guessing this breaks the
hotspot assignment. This seems to be the case because just after the
text changes doing a VO-command-1 (for the #1 hotspot I had assigned)
say "Hot spot no longer exists". This is one of those cases where not
doing the right thing under the hood has negative conseques for
assistive technology. I've seen similar things with web-based chat
clients that redrew the entire chat roll rather than append one new
item, causing AT to read the entire conversation every time. Not sure
how to get that fixed. Probably considered an edge case since most VO
users wouldn't want to hear the captions in addition to the audio.

Hi,
Since the launched of Youtube videos in HTML5 that it is possible to
control all the buttons of the video interfaces with VoiceOver. I also
noted that it is possible to read the subtitles, but I need
continuosly press VO+left arrow VO+right arrow to positioning the
cursor under the subtitles. VoiceOver read 1 subtitle and then stop,
either when a new subtitle is already on the screen. I need
continuously to jump to line before and then back to, current line to
make VO read the subtitle.
Is it possible we configure the VoiceOver to permanently read the
subtitles in sequence, when they appear on screen? Something like a
monitoring an HotSpot and when something new appear in that position
read it?
Thanks,
Jorge Fernandes
