Audible Will Exclude Publishers Works from Captions Program - For Now - Publishers Weekly

Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere when he heard clapping and cheering outside. Following all the hoopla took our brave kitty to the Publishers Weekly site. With no digging at all he found a post about Audible's new Captions feature.

Did somebody finally read the contract?
The post by Andrew Albanese states, that because of the recent publishers' lawsuit against Audible the company has agreed to make certain changes to the implementation of the Captions feature. Audible will exclude the audio books of the publishers involved in the lawsuit until the court decides on certain issues in the case. The date of the case has been changed and Audible will offer additional information before the new date. Panzer told you about the lawsuit a few days ago.

Panzer says, "This little kitty thinks Audible will offer a new contract to publishers for the right for Captions to type out the words. It's like typing the words for a deaf human to read."

Note: This is a short-medium length post. Bring a cup of tea.
