something accessible which isn't accessible

Subject: [WebAIM] iCaption2 Student Project to create people learn about and
create captions for Flash Videos

I have been working with a group of students to build a tool help people
learn about captioning Flash Video.

The following website has the results of there work.

http://icaption2.cita.uiuc.edu/

The application was built using Adobe Flex Technology and so is not very
accessible to assistive technologies, but there is basic keyboard support
for all the functions.

If you are working with Flash video the students would love to have your
feedback about your experience using iCaption2 to create captions and how
the tool could be improved to make it easier for you to create captions.

Thank you for your help,
Jon
