Hi Mike, I'd recommend the JW player for delivering Flash video: http://www.longtailvideo.com/
An example of an accessible result can be found on my own site: http://websemantics.co.uk/resources/embedding_flash_video/ I'm unaware of any service that'll create srt captions. If you find one please let me know. A text transcript should be considered essential. I hope that helps. mike foskett http://websemantics.co.uk/ -----Original Message----- From: li...@webstandardsgroup.org [mailto:li...@webstandardsgroup.org] On Behalf Of Spellacy, Michael Sent: 15 June 2010 15:29 To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: [WSG] Video Accessibility Help Hi List, I was just wondering what some of the best practices were these days for creating accessible video on the web. A few questions: 1) I know some Flash players can pull in captions, but which ones to use? 2) Are there any services out there that will scan your audio track and create a captioned file for you (.srt, etc.) to feed into your player? 3) If you do succeed in creating captioned video do you also have to create a transcript of the video for those users who may not have Flash installed (or may not be able to access Flash using JAWS)? 4) Would providing just a transcript of the video, be all that is needed to meet basic accessibility requirements? Thanks in advance! I love this list!
