What is World Caption?

World Caption is a program for adding captions to a QuickTime compatible video, using a transcript of that video. While World Caption cannot be used to generate a transcript, it makes the process of synchronizing a transcript to video simple, and allows quick and easy generation of captions.

World Caption Software was developed by Brian Deith, Learning Support Services, College of Letters and Science, University of Wisconsin-Madison.

See a brief video demonstrating World Caption Tool as one of DoIT's Web Accessibility Video Resources.
