Here's a list of operating systems compatible with AutoCaption or with our DynaCaption ^TM captioning software.

AutoCaption

• Windows2000® with service pack 2 and DirectX® 9
• Windows XP® with DirectX® 9

DynaCaption^TM

• Windows 2000®
• Windows XP®
• Windows ME® - Microsoft® assures us this will work
• Windows 98®
• Windows 95®

Most of us are engineers, so we really like the Macintosh computers and regularly use UNIX and Linux operating systems.  But many of the sophisticated features in AutoCaption are tailored to the Intel® CPU and Windows® operating systems.

Recompiling AutoCaption for other platforms and operating systems seems like a simple and cheap solution.  But being engineers, we are concerned about sluggish performance and compiler induced bugs causing expensive support and maintenance headaches.

Our long range plans call for a UNIX (Free BSD) turn-key system.  Send us an e-mail if you'd like to be notified when it's available.

In the meantime, we'll concentrate on keeping the kick-butt captioning system others try to imitate.
