26 CaptionMaker for Windows
1. caption data is sent to the encoder in channel 1 simultaneously via a modem or a
serial cable or,
2. the video is already captioned in channel 1
A few important points to note:
You can have either of the following situations:
1. Both computers running CaptionMaker software or
2. One computer running CaptionMaker and the other computer running another
captioning software.
You may mix and match any of the two methods of captioning:
1. Live or Realtime or,
2. Live Display or,
3. Post Caption.
In Live Realtime method, you can use either a steno machine or a Speech Recognition
software to send the caption live.
In Live Display method, you have to have the text prepared already. Then you can send the
captions by pressing the (+) key in real time by listening to the dialog.
If you have access to the time code of the video, you may use the Post Caption method. You
must have a already prepared time stamped file. Then you can invoke the AutoSync function
and captions will go automatically synchronized with the video.
Note: You cannot caption Channel 1 and Channel 2 simultaneously using this
technoique since both Channel 1 and Channel 2 occupy the same space inside the
Fied 1. The same is true for Channel 3 and Channel 4.
