<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Thanks, Joe. I’ll amend my earlier comments to include that I was thinking of “canned” content in response to your question, not live content. What struck me particularly was some current (though dying) methods
of teaching at my own institution: there are faculty who literally record themselves talking, with nothing else going on, and students are expected to play those recordings back at a later time to get “the lecture”. In those isolated cases, I don’t perceive
a transcript as a bad thing, although I know ultimately captions AND a transcript would be better for serving all end users. For any other situation, though, I agree completely with the opinion that captions need to be provided from the start.

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Paragraph (b) provides that equivalent alternatives for any multimedia presentation shall be synchronized with the presentation. This would require, for example, that if an audio portion of
a multi-media production was captioned as required in paragraph (a), the captioning must be synchronized with the audio. (See §1194.23(c)(12) and (e)(3) in the NPRM.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Comment.</span></i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""> Comments from organizations representing persons who are deaf or hard of hearing strongly supported
this provision. One commenter from the technology industry raised a concern that this provision would require all live speeches broadcast on the Internet by a Federal agency to be captioned. The commenter noted that an alternative might be to provide a transcript
of the speech which could be saved, reviewed, and searched.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Response.</span></i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""> This provision uses language that is not substantively different than the WCAG 1.0 and was supported
in the WAI comments to the proposed rule. There are new techniques for providing realtime captioning which are supported by new versions of programs like RealAudio. Providing captioning does not preclude posting a transcript of the speech for people to search
or download. However, commenters preferred the realtime captioning over the delay in providing a transcript. No substantive changes have been made to this provision in the final rule.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
