Customization
The real-time captioning viewer can be customized in a variety of ways. After
placing a link to the viewer on your web page, it is possible to alter the
appearance of the viewer by adding parameters to your link, as described
below.
SSL - By simply changing the link to "https" communications can be
encrypted for your privacy.
FontSize – In points, determines the size of the captioned text.
FontName – Sets the face of the font.
Common suggestions would include Verdana, Arial, and Tahoma. The ‘+’ character
must be substituted for spaces, e.g. “Times New Roman” should be entered as
“FontName=Times+New+Roman”
FontColor, BGColor and Highlight – these parameters
control the color of the font, background, and highlight color of new text
respectively. Example colors would include black, blue, gray, green, purple,
red, silver, and white. Optionally hexadecimal color values can be used by
simply omitting the preceding pound sign.
HideTitle – Set to “True”, this option removes the title bar from the
window. By default the title is hidden in embeded events.
EventRefresh – This value, in seconds, controls how often the user sees
new sections of text.
EventID – After you register for a CaptionedText event, simply replace
EventID in the link below with the EventID that has been assigned to you.
These parameters and their corresponding values can be added to the link,
separated by ampersands. Included below are several working examples
demonstrating various configurations.
