"When someone who is deaf or hard of hearing comes across that Webcast, and wants it captioned, they click a CaptionMeNow button," she said. <br>The video is processed through IBM's speech recognition system and automatically captioned. Because speech recognition software still isn't perfect, the transcript could then be routed to a human editor for quick fixes before posting online. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.thejournalnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051017/BUSINESS01/510170302/1066/BUSINESS01 " target="blank">www.thejournalnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051017/BUSINESS01/510170302/1066/BUSINESS01 </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
