    "ADVOCACY FOR QUALITY CAPTIONING UNIVERSALLY IS THE CCAC MISSION. We invite you to join us in the online grass-roots project called the CCAC if you support the CCAC mission, hearing or not, deaf or not. (...) CCAC is neither a deaf nor a hearing loss association. It is an advocacy community aiming to educate and advocate on many levels for inclusion of quality captioning where none exists now. (...)"

    "When you combine the audience-building power of captioning and the interactive aspects of links, it's easy to see how an investment in these additional services will set your programs apart from others. In closing, please keep in mind that our main goal is to make you feel comfortable and confident in our captioning services. When comparing VITAC's rates, services and quality to other vendors, please be sure that you're comparing apples to apples. We are confident that nobody in the industry can match the quality and experience of VITAC's work. You invest thousands of dollars into the highest production values for your shows so why settle for anything but the best in captioning to compliment your programs? "

Why CART and Captioning in Education - and Graduations! - COLLABORATIVE for COMMUNICATI... - 0 views

  •  
    "FROM THE CCAC AND YOU: DEAR EDUCATION LEADERS, PARENTS, STUDENTS AND SCHOOL SYSTEMS, Equal Communication Access includes Captioning and CART in Education: One Good Example? Include CART at Graduation this year! Why plan for inclusion of quality captioning now? Let us count some of the good reasons. CART and captioning is needed for: 1 Learning to read 2 To learn languages 3 For transcripts and record-keeping 4 For "search" and knowledge-building online 5 For "equal communication access" for millions of students of all ages with different hearing loss and deafness. Captioning is our "ramp" for equal access Too many educational materials today, e.g. videos of all sorts, do not have full verbatim captioning. Too many school events do not plan for CART (full quality real time speech-to-text provided by a professional on site, or remotely). Too many students and teachers have insufficient knowledge about this need and choice --to understand the benefits of captioning inclusion."

Why Captioning and CART in Employment? - COLLABORATIVE for COMMUNICATION ACCESS via CAP... - 0 views

  •  
    "Real Time Captioning for Employment and Work Settings (Captioning and CART) Prepared by the CCAC (Collaborative for Communication Access via Captioning, a voluntary grass-roots advocacy and education network, see www.ccacaptioning.org) October 2011 Thirty six million Americans today are deaf, deafened, or have a hearing loss, roughly one person in every ten (a conservative estimate). For communication access that allows them to participate and contribute their skills and expertise throughout the lifespan, quality inclusion of captioning is essential for many. Accessible communication technologies have advanced in recent years, especially services and systems providing speech-to-text translation. This is a brief overview of captioning considerations for employers and employees on captioning inclusion, benefiting not only all with hearing needs, but many others with language differences.

Tools for DIY Captioning - COLLABORATIVE for COMMUNICATION ACCESS via CAPTIONING - 1 views

  • Software programs,
    • Claude Almansi
       
      Use heading style
    • Claude Almansi
       
      Move MAGpie and Synchrimedia here: they are desktop software programs. Synchrimedia is shareware for 30 days, and after that the license is not cheap.
  • Online:
    • Claude Almansi
       
      Use heading style
    • Claude Almansi
       
      Also move overstream.net here: it is an online captioning tool.
  • to a Vimeo account
    • Claude Almansi
       
      Not only: Universal Subtitles works with Ogg, WebM, flv, mp4, Youtube, Vimeo or Dailymotion
  • ...19 more annotations...
  • Upload the video, upload the transcript, and start the timing to synchronize. 
    • Claude Almansi
       
      You cannot upload a video to UnivSubs, you stream it from its published online address when you create a page for it. And while you can upload a transcript if you have one, UnivSubs is mainly a tool to make a time-coded transcript that produces the subtitles.
  • MAGpieSynchrimedia
    • Claude Almansi
       
      MAGpie and Synchrimedia should go under Software programs: see note there.

    • Claude Almansi
       
      This should go under "More helpful sites": it is not an online captioning tool
  • More helpful sites to consult for more detailed information:
    • Claude Almansi
       
      This should be in heading style.
  • www.overstream.ne
    • Claude Almansi
       
      This should be a live link and go under online tools
  • full simplified instruction
    • Claude Almansi
       
      These instructions concern adding a transcript to a YT video to have it timecoded into subtitles by the YT automatic synchronization. They do not concern Google Caption Tube. So there is no reason to add them as a kind of footnote to it. They could be added as a separate entry in the "Online" section.
  • Click "My Videos" from the top right navigation widget.
    • Claude Almansi
       
      Do you mean the top-right drop-list? With the new interface, it doesn't include "My Videos" anymore, but either "My Channel" or "Video Manager".
  • Ensure it is set to "Private" until you are finished with the following steps.
    • Claude Almansi
       
      Why? Setting the video as private might upset users who bookmarked it and wonder why they can't see it. The process works perfectly well if the video is set to Public.
  • Click "Captions" or "Captions and Transcripts"
    • Claude Almansi
       
      It's called "Edit captions/subtitles" (and has been since YT introduced closed captioning)
  • something like "from a document" instead of the "with timing" one.
    • Claude Almansi
       
      Rather: "Select the "Transcript file (*beta*) option."
  •  Click
    • Claude Almansi
       
      Before that, add: "Click the link Add New Captions or Transcript"
  • in Word
    • Claude Almansi
       
      It's Word that adds a lot of rubbish code to transcripts. Better use a simple text editor like Notepad or a decent word processor like OpenOffice Write, save as .txt and then change the extension to .sbv

      There are many other apps, browser based, that work with all computer systems. E.g. Download Helper (Firefox addon), RealPlayer....
  • CAPTIONING DVD'S
    • Claude Almansi
       
      This is only very incidentally about captioning DVDs: it's mainly about downloading videos from the Web (just OKish copyrightwise for personal use for the time being, won't be if SOPA passes, unless the video copyright is yours), sharing it with a transcription service (NOT OK copyrightwise if the video is not yours) then republishing the video online (again, NOT OK copyrightwise if the video is not yours).
  • They also have another app that copies a DVD's video and / or audio
    • Claude Almansi
       
      See http://www.youtube.com/copyright_school : a video or audio file ripped from a DVD should not be shared with others (transcribing agency e.g.) and above all not be published online.

      It would be more logical to have this at the very end of the page.
