color=#0000ff size=2>You may want to check out LecShare. Similar in
concept (different in technical functionality), LecShare can take a PPT file and
convert it to several different accessible formats. Their higher end
product LecShare Pro can also support the addition of voice media to slides (and
do some basic automated captioning). Site is: <A

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=544313217-08022007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Take a look at the trial version - it is fully functioning
and just embeds a LecShare watermark on each exported format so that you do not
use the trial version for prime time. Works for Macs and PCs, so that is a
nice feature. Currently it only works with PowerPoint files, so if you are
looking for Word or Excel support, then it is the Office Export Wizard (aka
Accessible Web Publishing Wizard).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>I have also had a number of faculty approach me regarding
the use of Camtasia to deliver PPT content (obviously a more expensive
solution). The result is just a Flash video of the presentation with a
voice-over narration (this is somewhat similar to one of the exports of LecShare
Pro also does). The current version of Camtasia also provides a tool for
captioning the presentation. It does appear to have many customization
options, but I am looking into this a bit more. Probably not exactly what
you are looking for, but it is something that more faculty appear to be
doing.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=011140617-08022007><FONT face=Arial size=2>There are a few who
have been witness to my complaints about the University of Illinois
Urbana-Champaign's Office Export Wizard plug-in. I'm not going to get into that
now (if anyone is interested, mail me for a sample tirade off-list), but I do
need a good alternative to convert Powerpoint and other Office documents to an
accessible HTML alternative.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=011140617-08022007><FONT face=Arial size=2>Up until 1.06, the
Illinois tool was free and didn't nag or annoy, and if anyone has that version,
that would be helpful (I have lost my copy), otherwise, anyone have other
recommendations?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
