Serious Magic, Inc. has announced the immediate availability of closed-captioning for its Visual Communicator 2 software. This feature currently outputs for Windows Media and is available as a free download from Serious Magic's Web site. It will enable government agencies, educators, and professional trainers serving the government to be in compliance with Section 508 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act, which requires that Federal agencies' electronic and information technology be accessible to people with disabilities.

Visual Communicator 2 is based on a video production process that eliminates traditional editing timelines, allowing faster video creation. It offers an on-screen teleprompter, customizable graphics and titles, real-time transitions, and virtual sets; moreover, it includes a professional clip-on microphone and V-ScreenT foldable backdrop material for green-screen effects.

The update works with all versions of Visual Communicator 2, including Web, Pro, and Studio, and those that wish to upgrade from previous versions of Visual Communicator can do so for $149.95.
