Thomas,
I may be behind the times on this, but is there a refreshable Braille
display that can handle the display of caption text at the speed the text is
sent out? I would think the text of the descriptions would be needed to,
no?
I would suggest that there would need to be some software development in the
field of timed-text to enable the extraction of the caption text in a form
that is compatible with refreshable Braille displays. Short of that, I
would think the availability of transcript becomes even more important for
this audience.
