I will take your challenge however, and see what I can produce from someone's un-captioned VLOG. We might all be surprised...</p>ASL4EVRTue, 30 Dec 2008 16:28:21 -0000http://www.jaredlog.com/?p=952#comment-4783454<p>As usual, a great posting, Jared. I too am somewhat frustrated that ASL videos are not captioned. Many postings on DeafRead, etc are items that need to be understood by the general public -- otherwise we continue to complain to ourselves! And unless its an argumentative topic, the only reactions come from other ASL users. I have a suggestion...</p><p>Suppose an online group of ASL users (who are comfortable with English) would VOLUNTEER to serve as English translators, and return a clip to the creator within 48 hours? Do you think there would be any interest from people willing to provide such a service? The data reported by YouTube is overwhelming! More people will watch and will better understand the lives of Deaf people in this country. Maybe I'm living in a fantasy world; maybe nobody wants to do that, or we're all too busy to transcribe a 5 minute VLOG, but I for one am willing to give it a shot.<br></p>ASL4EVRTue, 30 Dec 2008 12:44:59 -0000
