Hello,

We have tried implementing caption on one of our video for trial ...we could get caption working very easily and even the fonts are nice ...but the problem with it is that it almost merges if the background is white ..chk below link

We had generated the .srt file from http://www.universalsubtitles.org ...the preview player on universal subtitiles have very good way of showing subtitle ..they have translucent background behind the subtitles...please see below link 

http://www.universalsubtitles.org/en/videos/PlH0DGHVqT6f/

.can blip's team, please try to make it like that or something so that the text can be easily read on any color on video .... ..and that will make it easily readable and comfortable for eyes...

Waiting to hear from blip for this .....

Regards,

Jinesh

Agreed.  We're doing government video and Section 508 compliance is important, not to mention by Presidential Executive Order - mandatory for federal gov't. online content, including video.  Captioning on Blip is OK, but could be vastly improved..some player setup control over display font, font color, and/or color underlay that the CC text sits on would help tremendously to make the captions more readable and ultimately more accessible.  Or at least a a bare minimum update the way it displays now to have some sort of solid or semi-transparent background color to it so the text displays more clearly.  Thanks!

There have been several posts regarding closed captioning over the past year or so (http://support.blip.tv/entries/260940-subtitles-for-blip-tv-player, http://support.blip.tv/entries/459011-closed-captioning-for-the-deaf-and-hearing-impaired, etc). All of them raise the same issues:

• The captions are so tiny as to barely be legible
• The lines are WAY to long and there's no support for line breaks
• There's no support for any formatting whatsoever
• Readability is even worse on light backgrounds

So far, no one from blip has responded or given any indication that they are working on this issue. Whether intentional or not, blip is giving impression that accessibility is simply not a concern of theirs.
