Have you ever wanted to communicate with someone face-to-face?
[00:00:05.28]
To show them something, maybe a presentation or brochure?
[00:00:08.44]
But they were far away.
[00:00:10.00]
You could call them, but audio alone is not enough.
[00:00:13.00]
You could video-conference,
[00:00:15.00]
but that lacks graphics and only works for small audiences.
[00:00:18.07]
You could get on a plane, or you could telepresent.
[00:00:21.38]
Introducing the NCast PR-HD Series Recorders,
[00:00:24.07]

MAGpie 1.0 can be used to export the captions to three multimedia formats: SAMI, RealText Apple's
Timed Text and SMIL (which can also be used by Apple and Real). Magpie 2.02 is the newest version,
and adds functionality for Flash, and can play NCast’s MPEG-4 media files. The tool can be found here:

World Caption is a program written by a University of Wisconsin staff member and is distributed free.

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 accepts UTF-8 encoded text files, which means it can handle a wide number of languages
- including languages with non-Latin character sets such as Japanese.
World Caption allows addition of any number of tracks to the video. This allows the creation of caption
tracks for several languages. World Caption eases the process of synchronization by using interpolation.
It isn't necessary to synchronize every caption, but just a few. World Caption will infer the location of
other captions from the ones synchronized with the video.
System Requirements: World Caption requires Mac OS X version 10.4 or later.
