READING THE SOUND OF THE WEB

A new freeware closed-captioning program for for video on the web has been released at Boston public station WGBH. “Before MAGpie, if you wanted to add captions, you had to type in formatting codes and timecodes. To caption a 10-minute clip, it took two to three hours. With MAGpie’s automation, it takes about 30 to 40 minutes.” – Wired 03/31/00
