*The National Center for Accessible Media at WGBH (NCAM) announces the 
launch of CADET (Caption and Description Editing Tool).*

CADET is free, downloadable caption-authoring software that enables 
anyone to produce high-quality caption files that are compatible with 
any media player that supports the display of captions. CADET can also 
be used to generate audio-description scripts. CADET does not require an 
internet connection in order to operate: it runs locally in any Web 
browser, so users do not need to upload private videos or proprietary 
content to servers or video-hosting sites in order to create captions.

CADET implements all of the basic features necessary to create 
high-quality captions, plus many of the functions available only in 
high-end caption-authoring workstations. CADET allows users to . . .

  * create captions for video formats that play natively in browsers
    (e.g., mp4, m4v);
  * import plain-text transcripts for editing and timing;
  * transcribe caption text directly into the caption editor;
  * edit, style and time captions;
  * import existing caption files (WebVTT, SRT, TTML, QTText) for
    clean-up, editing or re-timing;
  * export caption files in common formats, including WebVTT, SRT, TTML,
    QTText and SAMI, as well as plain-text scripts.

NCAM is providing this tool to all users free of charge.  Please follow 
the link below to download your copy of CADET now.  And please join our 
online community forum to share your feedback.
