So I’m trying to take our official Amver blog and make it Section 508 accessible, not just compliant. The challenge is finding a cheap or free video closed captioning solution. I’ve tried the YouTube cc function, but can’t seem to find a “keep it turned on all the time” default setting. I’m also looking for a solution for our yet to start audio podcast transcription. We really can’t start the podcast until we have the transcription solution worked out.
Are you a Google executive that somehow stumbled on my blog? Perhaps you have a solution we can use?
How do you make your content 508 accessible? What tools are you using?

Hello. A friend of mine recommended checking out these sites:
WGBH (http://main.wgbh.org/wgbh/pages/mag/services/captioning/) and
MAGpie (http://ncam.wgbh.org/invent_build/web_multimedia/tools-guidelines).
Thanks Melinda. I’m exploring more options using Google to auto caption YouTube videos and using Mechanical Turk for audio podcasts. It’s interesting this isn’t moving along faster….
