World Caption is a program written by a University of Wisconsin staff member and is distributed free. See:

http://www.journalism.wisc.edu/worldcaption/

World Caption is a program for adding captions to a QuickTime compatible video, using a transcript of that
video. While World Caption cannot be used to generate a transcript, it makes the process of synchronizing a
transcript to video simple, and allows quick and easy generation of captions.

World Caption accepts UTF-8 encoded text files, which means it can handle a wide number of languages -
including languages with non-Latin character sets such as Japanese.

World Caption allows addition of any number of tracks to the video. This allows the creation of caption tracks
for several languages. World Caption eases the process of synchronization by using interpolation. It isn't
necessary to synchronize every caption, but just a few. World Caption will infer the location of other captions
from the ones synchronized with the video.

System Requirements: World Caption requires Mac OS X version 10.4 or later.
