Sona<a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/@brucelawson" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@brucelawson</a> whisper can't just transcribe, it also can put out SRT-Files which you can import in Programms like davinci resolve to add closed captions in the video file (which time stamps and everything)!Saved my ass some days ago. But even though it's actually quite good, you still need to (and should anyway) check the output for errors.<a href="https://norden.social/tags/captions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#captions</a> <a href="https://norden.social/tags/subtitles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#subtitles</a> <a href="https://norden.social/tags/captioning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#captioning</a>

Michael HanscomAt a disability services conference today, and heard an interesting insight. One attendee was in a conversation with a hard of hearing student in a class that was using auto (<a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a>) <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/captions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#captions</a>, and apologized to them for the occasional inaccuracies. The student said it wasn’t at all a worry, in large part because they’ve grown up with YouTube/Zoom automated captions, and are very used to “interpreting” for the AI systems errors. “I’ve been reading janky captions all my life; I know what they mean.” I hadn’t thought about it before, but it totally makes sense that today’s “digital natives” would understand AI <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/captioning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#captioning</a> almost like another English dialect.

Ricky OnsmanIt's hard to believe that just 14 days ago I was 13,000km away in California, wondering how Hans Hillen and my talk on AI and web accessibility would go down at a CSUN conference where there were at least 20 presentations on related topics (it all went very well, thanks for asking 🙂).When we were preparing the talk, we realised we had way too much material, so we had to chop a lot out to fit the time available. I kept what I cut out, though, and have now used that to expand my talk transcript into a TPGi blog post, using my slides to illustrate the article.My focus was on how AI is changing the web accessibility tools we use now, namely automatic alt text generation, automatic captioning and AI-powered overlays. No lack of potential controversy, then!Anyway, I hope it's an interesting read and maybe adds a little to your perspective and understanding of AI and web accessibility.<a href="https://www.tpgi.com/what-ai-can-do-for-and-to-existing-web-accessibility-tools/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.tpgi.com/what-ai-can-do-for-and-to-existing-web-accessibility-tools/</a><a href="https://aus.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#a11y</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AltText" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AltText</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Captioning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Captioning</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Overlays" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Overlays</a>

highly principled invertebrate<a href="https://techopolis.social/@tayarndt" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@tayarndt</a> No, absolutely not. This is new unproven technology, which is largely based upon automatic captioning systems, which don't work for blind/visually impaired people, nor those with sensory overload problems. This is beyond the problems Microsoft has as a company, so if an open source or Linux version of this came out, I'd still be a hard "no" because the technology it's based upon doesn't work for disabled people either. <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigTech</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/DisabilityAccessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DisabilityAccessibility</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/OpenSourceSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenSourceSoftware</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Copilot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Copilot</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Blind</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Captioning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Captioning</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Microsoft</a>

Likely Jan LukasGood grief. It seems to me that if you finally bother to have sign language in the longest-running science fiction series in history, perhaps whomever does the captioning for the episode could make extra-certain they use the correct words?Eg: Dialogue: "The Doctor lied" Caption: "The Doctor night."<a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/signLanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#signLanguage</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/captioning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#captioning</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Deaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Deaf</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/DoctorWho" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DoctorWho</a>1/2

Jayme<a href="https://toot.community/@robertsmelser" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@robertsmelser</a> I've spent many years teaching accessibility and media, and the difference is not trivial in my over-educated opinion. Captions include all sonic information, and are in the same language that is being spoken on screen. Subtitles are a translation of the spoken dialog only, they do not include sound effects or music, etc. Subtitles present TRANSLATIONS in other languages than what is being spoken on screen.Captions are a great example of Universal Design, while subtitles are a targeted accommodation for a specific audience.For more information about this (and narrative descriptions) check out the Captioning Key from the Described and Captioned Media Program: <a href="https://dcmp.org/learn/captioningkey" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dcmp.org/learn/captioningkey</a><a href="https://c.im/tags/captioning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#captioning</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/CC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CC</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#a11y</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/MediaDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MediaDesign</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/VideoProduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VideoProduction</a>

A lot of the time I have to dig through fan wikis for spellings, and that's assuming those sources exist. Including a list of names & terms should be BASIC for making sure subtitles are accurate, but corporations can't be arsed.<a href="https://fandom.ink/tags/OurFlagMeansDeath" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OurFlagMeansDeath</a> <a href="https://fandom.ink/tags/Captioning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Captioning</a>

Melody Wisp (English VTuber)Something that'd be super cool is if streamers and YouTubers and people involved in closed captioning and transcription networked more closely with each other.So, this project is called the Open Steno Project. It's a volunteer-run group that produces software, educational material, etc., in order to bring down the costs of stenography equipment, technology, and education. I love this project with all my heart. <a href="https://www.openstenoproject.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.openstenoproject.org/</a>And this is the Discord server, for anyone wanting to talk to transcriptionists, closed captioners, stenography students, court reporters, and hobbyists about this field (I'm in it! It's super fun!). It's not specifically a place for *hiring* someone, but getting to know the industry and the people in it is a net good. And you might even learn stenography while you're at it, idk. 😎 <a href="https://discord.gg/plover" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://discord.gg/plover</a>-- <a href="https://vt.social/tags/networking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#networking</a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/VTuber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VTuber</a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/EnVTuber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EnVTuber</a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/VTuberEn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VTuberEn</a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/Twitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Twitch</a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/TwitchStreamer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TwitchStreamer</a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/VTuberUprising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VTuberUprising</a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/VStreamer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VStreamer</a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/YouTube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YouTube</a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Accessibility</a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/Stenography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Stenography</a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/steno" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#steno</a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/Captioning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Captioning</a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/Transcription" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Transcription</a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/ContentCreation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ContentCreation</a> <a href="https://vt.social/tags/Plover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plover</a>
