Thanks to Karen for posting about YouTube and captioning in which to points to Bill Cresswell’s post.
YouTube on captions and subtitles covers how to turn them on/off, add/edit captions, and getting help with captioning a video. If only YouTube had a way to search for captioned/subtitled videos. Sure, you can enter “caption” in the search box… but it won’t be accurate as caption can appear in non-captioned videos and people might use “closed-captioned,” “captioning,” “subtitled,” “subtitles,” you get the idea.
Also, Project ReadOn accepts captioning requests. It’ll take a long time to see our faves captioned as we all have faves all over the place with few overlaps.
