It's not free and there's no demo? Not an encouraging start...

Timed Text was the steer I got from my accessibility guru. I could support multiple formats, but would prefer to find other tools that maybe convert between formats.

I've used a free bit of software called "Subtitle Workshop" to make a timed caption file for youtube videos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Twy9xw9jlo) caption file attached (Sub Viewer file).

Let's you output in a few different formats, although XML isn't a default option. Txt file might be an option?

Does anyone know of any good, preferably free, tools for making timed text xml files?

I want to add some support for captions to Xerte 3.0, and am hopeful that by following the timed text standard, I will have access to loads of wonderful tools for producing timed text...
