Hi everybody:

I am hoping to approach accommodation issues related to podcasting and
blogs, without re-inventing a wheel. I apologize if this has already
been discussed, and if it has and is available in the achieves, please
direct me to the appropriate site. How have others approached
accommodations issues related to transcription? Have approaches been
similar to that of web accessibility? Are you using open captions, and
if so, are you creating the caption in-house or outsourcing it?

Thanks in advance for your expertise and advice.

Best wishes,
Michelle

But it's the same basic technique, except with IR you're moving some
text before you apply the image background. If you want "alt" text,
use IR.
