Closed Captioning for Flash
In the past year and half, the popularity of YouTube has increased across the Internet. YouTube is a video sharing website where users can upload, share, view, watch, and rank videos on the Internet. The videos are displayed into Adobe Flash (.flv) format.
Many videos on YouTube do not have captions or subtitles, although there are a few that can be found. Most of them are foreign language videos with English subtitles.
On March 8, 2007, the Access Division of WGBH announced that they had created a component for Flash called CC for Flash that can be used to display captions in a Flash video player. This new technology will allow developers more ease in adding captions to Flash videos. In addition, millions of deaf and hard of hearing users will be able to experience Web-based video in Flash, and search engines will be able to utilize captions as search metadata for SWF content.
CC for Flash can be written into any SWF file and played back in Adobe Flash Player, which works on most recent Mac and PC systems. Both CC for Flash and Adobe Flash Player are free.
Taken from the press release:
CC for Flash: The Details
Uses external files produced in the W3C’s Distribution Format Exchange Profile (DFXP) of the Timed-Text Authoring Format.
Imports existing formats such as Apple QuickTime’s QTtext, with support for Microsoft’s SAMI format soon to follow.
Exposes many of its internal functions through ActionScript™ language so that the author can control and customize many of the features.
Can play back caption metadata that has been embedded in the video by tools such as Captionate.
Can be linked to any video playback components in Flash or directly to Netstream objects in the SWF of the FLV file.
Allows the author to set the caption display box coordinates and default text attributes, like background color, text foreground color, font face and size, opacity, etc., at authoring time. At playback time, any text attributes that are explicitly defined in the external caption file will override the defaults.
Captions can be added after the video content in Flash is posted, allowing for flexibility across production and distribution environments.
Allows captions to be searched.
Comes with an optional player, ccPlayer for Flash, which allows those unfamiliar with Flash programming to embed video content in Flash into a Web page with minimal effort.
Is compatible with Flash MX2004 (7) and 8 authoring packages.

Info from FAQ page:
http://fora.tv/fora/faq.php?faq=new_faq_item#faq_new_faq_item_1
What is ‘FORA.tv’?
The word fora is simply the plural of "forum." The dictionary definition of forum is: the public square or marketplace of an ancient Roman city that was the assembly place for public business.
What does FORA.tv do?
We deliver discourse, discussions and debates on the world’s most interesting political, social and cultural issues and enable our viewers to join the conversation. We provide deep unfiltered content, tools for self expression and the place for the interactive community to gather. There are brilliant ideas, expressed everyday, in public discussions and events, all over the world. Don’t miss them.
How do I know which programs have synchronized transcriptions and chapters?
All programs are chaptered, allowing easy access to exactly the part of the speech or program that interests you. We transcribe at least one featured program each day, and synchronize all transcripts provided to us by content providers. Synchronized transcripts allow two important features. First, the transcript scrolls alongside the video so that you have easy reference to check what the speaker said, or quickly review the text. Second, FORA.tv’s unique search capabilities allow you to search for any word in the text. By clicking on search results, the video goes to exactly that point. Most transcripts are unofficial, and provided primarily for search. The spoken word on the recording should be considered the only official record of the speech.
What about other languages?
We are sourcing content from around the world today, and intend to use the Transcript tab on the FORA.tv player for translation into multiple languages over time.
How do I get my event on FORA.tv?
E-mail us through our contact us form and we will have our Programs staff get in touch with you to discuss how to get either individual events or an entire library up on FORA.tv.
What is a 'stringer'?
FORA.tv is building a global network of videographers to record events in major cities. We are currently seeking both interns and freelance videographers for field production. Drop us a line if you are interested in joining our network.
Why don't you edit programs?
We like the C-SPAN model. No intermediation, no one deciding what you should or should not see. Have access to the entire event, with search and browsing tools that allow you to watch a chapter, or “snack” on short segments, either to get a sense of what the program offers or to get what you want, easily and enjoyably.

From Stone Deaf Pilot http://www.stonedeafpilots.com/?p=58Text transcripts on LiveJournal voice posts
May 23, 2007 8:25 am
Listen to this as a podcast: The LiveJournal blogging platform offers members the ability to do voice posts, and text transcripts are either made by the creator of the podcast or the readers; it’s a community-driven effort and works quite well - many people are willing to do this. Podcasts that are under three minutes are automatically transcribed by SpinVox.

Birnbaum Interpreting Services (BIS) is proud to announce TeleSign Seminars, a community service to provide a cost-free way for individuals to participate in a wide variety of educational seminars without leaving their home or office.
Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals are able to also access TeleSign Seminars through the use of broadband video technology and BIS' video relay interpreters.
Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals can call Video Relay Service (VRS) through their videophone. They will give the VRS interpreter the pre-set telephone conference number and access code to connect them to the Seminar. The interpreter will interpret the entire workshop or training, including all questions, answers, discussions and other interactive dialogue.
To register for teleconferences, you just log in at http://www.TeleSignSeminars.com.
Video Relay Service (VRS) allows individuals to communicate in American Sign Language (ASL) using video conferencing equipment such as a Video-Phone (D-Link i2eye, VP-100, VP-200) or WebCam through a sign language interpreter who will relay the conversation between them and the hearing presenter or lecturer. Individuals not using sign language through VRS may incur a long distance charge for the phone call.
Each month the TeleSign Seminars Calendar will list new and up-to-date presentations and lectures. Leading experts in areas such as business, marketing, banking investments, mental health, wellness, nutrition, real estate, interior design, Deaf culture, Video Relay Services, Video Remote Interpreting and much more will be featured in TeleSign Seminars.
TeleSign Seminars generally last between thirty to sixty minutes. Presenters can choose to provide either a live PowerPoint-supplemented presentation during the seminar (via Webinar software) or, they can have a PowerPoint presentation sent out through e-mail to all registered participants prior to the seminar.
For more information on BIS, please visit http://www.BISworld.com or contact them at 301-587-8885 V/TTY.

The Provost has grant funds to caption multi-media and videos that are uncaptioned. In order to promote access to the deaf students on our campus, the guideline listed on this link says NOTE: All audio and video must be transcribed and captioned prior to use. The link is here: https://online.rit.edu/faculty/tools/av/
Captioning Info
RIT is committed to making all our online resources accessible to all learning communities. Most notably, the National Technology Institute for the Deaf is located at RIT and the Provost has mandated that all our online resources will be accessible to deaf students. All course materials with audio components, as well as newer streaming media, are captioned for the deaf when faculty work with our department to develop these materials. The captioning process requires faculty to provide materials to our department with sufficient lead time to transcribe and synchronize the text and audio components. The costs of captioning must be budgeted properly by your academic department and Online Learning depending on the amount of audio involved.
Project Read On
If you have video clips that are not captioned, for example from YouTube, this is a free captioning service on the web. Just send the link and they will caption the video for you. http://www.projectreadon.com/index.php?pg=home
