While using a 3rd party captioning service certainly makes the
captioning and transcription process easier for video producers, sometimes
it is not a plausible solution (mainly due to cost). In this webinar, Ken
Petri, the Director of the Ohio State University Web Accessibility Center,
will walk you through the process of DIY captioning.
