What is the most efficient way to caption a video when a speaker has a thick accent?

Some of them discuss InDesign as such (the concepts and most details are identical for InDesign CS 5.5 through InDesign CC 2014), some introduce MadeToTag, a plug-in for Adobe InDesign (developed by my company axaio software, cf. www.axaio.com) that increases productivity, helps reduce the error rate, and fixes some issues that are tough to fix without specific software (even for pro's). As you will be able to guess I might be biased here, but all in all I think it is fair to claim that the videos will help get you going and understand how accessible PDF can be created efficiently from InDesign, and should save a lot of time whether one uses InDesign with MadeToTag or just plain Indesign.
