A training screencast is here: http://plagwitz.blob.core.windows.net/content/subtitling-with-windows-media- player-enhanced-tag-editor.wmv If you have a Sanako language lab (I have done this both in Sanako Lab 300 and Study 1200), their media player supports subtitling - the feature is primarily meant as a language learner exercise. Search the manuals of your version of the Sanako software for more information. If "easy subtitling" does not mean "minimum learning curve", but "maximum productivity", consider Softel's Swift (which I supported for a translation program, which at your institution may have licensed it also - otherwise not cheap software, since it is an industry-standard for screen-translation). For an idea how powerful it is, see the 14 large settings dialogues here: http://plagwitz1.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!4FA3329905D7E1CE!1354.entry Best, -- Dr. Thomas Plagwitz Language Learning Center Manager Instructor of German Web: http://www.plagwitz.org/, Sitemap *********************************************** LLTI is a service of IALLT, the International Association for Language Learning Technology (http://iallt.org/), and The Consortium for Language Teaching and Learning (http://www.languageconsortium.org/).
