The article says it would be better with a timed text feed. I'm pretty sure this used to exist - you can see that production of subtitles at the beeb uses timed text for the Embedded Media Player (here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/guidelines/futuremedia/accessibility/subtitling_guides/EMP.shtml#emp_subs http://www.bbc.co.uk/guidelines/futuremedia/accessibility/su... ) - the EMP isn't iplayer, but is the thing that shows news/show clips on the rest of the bbc website. Also, I recall downloading a feed of one show while the BBC Backstage experiment was going on (when they were pushing open APIs etc). It's possible these things are still out there. I had a dig around and couldn't see timed text attached to any EMP clips though, even on programming for the hearing impaired.
