Otherwise the Web developer has to create the visual display through JavaScript. BTW: Transcripts are often more useful than captions for audio files, since they don't require the hearing-impaired person to go along the pace of the audio file but can determine their own pace of reading. 70293 2 contributor 2012-07-18 07:16:32 +0000 This bug was cloned to create bug 17914 as part of operation convergence. 74385 3 silviapfeiffer1 2012-09-25 03:30:28 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
