What is TeleText?

Hi all!
I was just wondering what TeleText was? I know it has something to do with
TV, but I was wondering if I could access it from the Internet?

Regards!

You can - www.teletext.co.uk for the web version. Press the "About
Teletext" link at the bottom of the page for more details of the
service.

Known in the States as '"close captioning" though not implemented in
the same way.
It is a very extensive system of text information invented and
developed by the BBC that includes text data in the vertical blanking
interval of analogue TV transmissions. Do a search for "Ceefax".

There is another setting, called
"Text" on American TV [which is hardly ever used], and I'm wondering if
that's the same thing?

Yes.


The only difference I can see is that our CC program and Text program is not
interactive. We cannot choose between "pages".

That's simply because the broadcasters just don't transmit any pages
in the States. In Europe many broadcasters transmit hundreds of pages.

Try http://teletext.mb21.co.uk/ - its FAQ section is quite good.
It also shows you what teletext pages look like and what they used to look
like.

Hope this helps!
