For the first time, you can add closed captions to video and audio files included in your PowerPoint presentation using the new Subtitling Add-in for Microsoft PowerPoint (STAMP).
There are two ways to include captions. If you already have captions saved as a Timed Text Markup file for your video content, you can import them directly into PowerPoint . Otherwise, you can caption your video within PowerPoint using the Caption Editor, which allows you to create, edit and delete captions.
The Save as DAISY for Office 2010 lets you save your Word document in the Digital Accessible Information System (DAISY) format, which powers digital talking books and compatible software and Braille readers for those with print disabilities.
Find out more about the accessibility in Microsoft Office 2010, including the Accessibility Checker new in Office 2010 from the Microsoft Accessibility website. The Inclusive Design Research Institute also has practical reference guides for creating accessible office documents using existing office applications.
For those interested in how to create captions on YouTube, or simply just find accessible content on the Internet, please visit the Media Access Australia website.
