Hey, I hope you are enjoying your Thanksgiving weekend! We all know we need a break from our crazy year! Struggling economy. New president. New political issues. New Deaf president at Gallaudet University. 26 people got arrested for VRS fraud. The list goes on forever.
Fortunately, I found out something that'll make you say WHOOO HOO!!!!
There is a new feature that is coming out where you can tell Google to put Closed Captioning on any new videos you're uploading!
Thank you, Ken Harrenstien, the software engineer behind this technology. He is also Deaf!
"Today, here in D.C., we announced the preliminary roll-out of automatic captioning in YouTube, an innovation that takes advantage of our speech recognition technology to turn the spoken word into text captions. We also announced that if you have a transcript of your video, you can upload it to YouTube and we'll time the captions for you."
