Lynda Announces Four New Closed-Captioned Titles
Lynda, a leader in video-based training for digital media and design software, today introduced four new closed-captioned titles to its Online Training Library.

Adding to its current selection of closed-captioned titles, the Lynda Online Training Library now features closed captioning for InDesign CS2 Essential Training, Illustrator CS2 Essential Training, Dreamweaver 8 Beyond the Basics, and Photoshop CS2 Essential Training.

Lynda has also added an instructional page to its site, which includes details about how to view the closed captions and how to search within the text captions.

"We've always wanted to offer closed captioning, but the prospect of converting hundreds of hours of video was overwhelming," says Lynda Weinman, president and co-founder of Lynda.

"We're thrilled to have found a solution for adding closed-captioning to our Online Training Library.

The benefits are huge, not only to people with a hearing impairment, but to all of our customers.

The text transcriptions have allowed us to add a great new text and time-code search feature that benefits everyone. Quite the win-win!"

Closed captioning also assists in tutorial comprehension in noisy environments, helps those who speak English as a second language, and improves overall content comprehension for all subscribers.
