Captioning for Netflix Streaming Services
Netflix claims that captioning for their streaming movies and TV episodes is still about a year away in development. They state the are working on integrating the technology to overlay the captions onto the video at the time of play back.
However, YouTube has made captioning available for its videos online since August of last year. Video files uploaded must already have captions available in them for it to work within YouTube. One interesting note, is that the captioning only seems to work when watching YouTube videos directly from the YouTube website, not from from videos that are embedded into other websites. They provide a great support page about using captioning in YouTube as well.
