Editing Austext (section)

==Content==
The information available on Austext pages included the latest in news, weather, racing, general interests and a television guide. Also available are contact details for Austext and state deaf associations.

The news pages included the latest in business, national news, international news, sport, science and technology, and showbiz.
The weather pages include same day forecast capital city temperatures, same day forecast conditions and minimum/maximum temperatures as well as current temperature, humidity, [[dew point]], wind speed, wind direction, sunrise and sunset times, and an outlook for the next five days  for major centres across Australia which was all supplied by the [[Bureau of Meteorology]]. The racing pages included a national [[Totalisator Agency Board|TAB]] racing index which ceased operation on 4 August 2009. The general interest pages included items such as lottery results, daily horoscopes and a joke of the day. The service also carried a TV guide with listings for the Seven Network in its five metropolitan markets, as well as listings for other networks, both metropolitan and regional, until 2007 when they disappeared.

Closed captioning for programs on the [[Seven Network]]'s channels are also included in the Austext system. When produced by the [[Australian Caption Centre]], they were branded as "Supertext". To access closed captions through Austext, viewers enter the navigation code number 801 on an analog television or by pressing the Text, CC, Subtitle or a designated coloured button (depending on make and model) on their digital [[set top box]] or television.
