Video Closed Captioning Requirements

YouTube and Google both support automated closed captioning tools to add (cc) to video.  Though this is a great move forward, there are some drawbacks to these tools.

1. The (cc) text appears in the video.  This can be a problem if the video provider does not want to display the (cc) in the video stream itself.
2. The (cc) text is not easily editable.
3. The (cc) text is not displayed at the word level concurrently with the spoken word.
4. The accuracy appears to be less than 75% to transcriptions

Video closed captioning requirements include:

1. Provides a video player and text display box that are separate.
2. Displays text at the word level.
3. Allows the video or audio provider an easy way to update the text while the video is being streamed.

Hopefully, DigitalChalk can provide these features this year.
