The Timed Text Working Group (TTWG), chaired by Sean Hayes from Microsoft, has been re-chartered to enhance the Timed Text Markup Language (TTML) standards. Recent activities include welcoming new participants, establishing liaisons with organizations such as SMPTE and EBU, and pushing forward the development of TTML 1.1. Key deliverables include a simple constrained profile for video closed captions, technical reports on TTML applications in HTML5, and updates addressing errata to comply with new regulations. The mission remains focused on improving online captioning delivery.
