Project Overview We provide an introduction to the ideas behind InterCaption.	Automated Translation - Interactive Diagram We include translation software to illustrate that captions could be simultaneously produced in multiple languages.
Basic Visual Communications - Interactive Diagram We document a closed circuit videoconferencing system as a starting point for one viable model of integrated captioning.	User Scenarios We provide selected examples of the many potential applications of this system.
Automated Captioning - Interactive Diagram We build onto the basic visual communications system to provide a simple system to produce automated captioning.	Future Technologies We outline selected examples of more complex systems that could exist today based upon our model. We then describe how evolving technologies would enrich the InterCaption system.
Caption Capturing - Interactive Diagram We add another component to demonstrate that captions can be captured and automatically combined to produce a transcript of the interaction.	Credits & Resources We would like to acknowledge those who have contributed to our efforts and to point readers to additional sources of information.
