Stanford Captioning System:
A Workflow Model for Producing Captioned
MediaSean Keegan Associate Director, Assistive Technology Office of Accessible Education Stanford University
Preconceptions & Assumptions
- captions are costly to produce
- requires technical expertise and knowledge of captioning applications
- involves large amounts of time to produce captioned media
- perceived as not providing much benefit outside of "accessibility"
Develop a workflow solution to simplify
the creation of accessible media and
promote the benefits of captioning.
