[CEUD-ICT] Captions, subtitles in HTML 5

[Joshue O Connor]

Hi all,

Are you interested in the future of video on the web? If so have a look
at the following.
Silvia Pfeiffer is doing some very interesting work for Mozilla on
finding the best way to include
captions, subtitles, textual audio annotations, and other time-aligned
text with the HTML5 video element.

The following is an experiment with external srt files that relate to an
Ogg Theora video. [1] [2]

See the demo: http://www.annodex.net/~silvia/itext/.

It uses aria-live regions, so it would be interesting to hear from
screen reader users. Please CC Silvia on any feedback, bugs, thoughts
etc at silviapfeiffer1 at gmail.com.

Thanks

Josh
