Films on Demand offers ways to make films more accessible!


The Google Translate feature, at the bottom right of every page, makes Films On Demand accessible to users of all languages. From the drop-down menu, users can select from 53 translation languages, and the page's text will be translated into the selected language. This tool is perfect for users for whom English is not their first language, as well as for foreign language learners.

More than half of the videos on Films On Demand feature interactive transcripts and closed-captioning. If a title has a transcript available, a "Transcript" tab will display on the View Video page. With interactive transcripts, users can view the full text of the video and follow along as the video plays; print the transcript; click on any word in the transcript to jump to that exact point in the video and begin playing the selection; and search each transcript to locate every instance of a specific term in a video.
