FILMS ON DEMAND NOW HAS CAPTIONING AND INTERACTIVE TRANSCRIPTS!!!

The database Films on Demand now has captioning and interactive transcripts for ALL of its videos!  This new feature makes the thousands of titles in the collection available to an even wider range of users.  You may turn the captioning on and off by clicking the "CC is on/CC is off" button in the upper right corner of the video player.

The interactive transcript feature may be viewed by clicking on the "Transcript" tab on the bar to the right of the video player.  To jump to a different section of the video, simply click on a word within the transcript and the video will skip to that point.

Brand new titles may not be captioned yet when they are initially added to the collection.
