A tool for captioning multimedia
Adobe and the National Center for Accessible Media (NCAM) have formed a partnership to provide developers with innovative resources for creating accessible media. NCAM provides a powerful, easy-to-use, free tool called MAGpie for captioning multimedia files.
Developers of web and CD-ROM multimedia need an authoring tool for making their materials accessible to people with disabilities. MAGpie allows developers to add closed captions and audio descriptions to multimedia in two popular formats: Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) for RealMedia and QuickTime, and Synchronized Accessible Media Interchange (SAMI) for Microsoft's Windows Media Player. MAGpie is available at no charge. Complete information about MAGpie, including an online tutorial and examples of accessible multimedia, can be found on the NCAM website.
Download your free version of MAGpie from NCAM.
Funding for MAGpie is provided by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research, the U.S. Department of Education, and the Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation.
