VDEI Caption Centre
The VDEI Caption Centre was established in 2011 as a Resource Development Project funded by VDEI.
The aim of the VDEI Caption Centre is to caption educational media being used by schools to ensure students who are deaf or hard of hearing have full access to the curriculum and support materials.
The VDEI Caption Centre offers this fully-subsidised captioning service for secondary students in Years 7-12 who are deaf or hard of hearing. This service is available to all Victorian government, Catholic and Independent secondary schools.
Captioning is available for -

All captioned media is returned via email as an MP4 file, ready for schools to download.
