Talk:E-captioning

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I do understand that the term "eCaptioning" may not meet notability standards, mostly because the process is known by some other names, with several companies having their own branding for the same technology. It is definitely a major technology in use by major movie & TV studios, most closed captioning companies, etc.

Would this article be more appropriate as a sub-section of the general closed captioning article? Even if it doesn't deserve it's own article, I think this information is extremely useful to anyone who wants to know how closed captioning is added to video. The main closed captioning article talks about it more from a viewer's perspective than from a content producer's.

  • The problem is that there seem to be very little reliable sources--I can find no hits in Google News, for instance, for the term; the only thing that popped up, if I remember correctly, was some company called eCaption. Provide reliable sources and the question will never come up again. Drmies (talk) 03:58, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Here are some links about eCaptioning, I don't know if this is enough qualification for notability, but I hope it helps:

I went to a e-captioning seminar at Apple in Reston, VA which talked about all the different workflows. Schools and other educational facilities attended. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18hands (talkcontribs) 21:07, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
