Kudos to UC Davis for being so accomodating...and to everyone there who helps support students so they obtain their education and accomplish goals...

whoops, wow - now i see where the icon is for interactive! it's along the like and share liine, ok!

Question please: a friend in the UK can click on that 4th icon (small box, middle of icons on lower right) and see also an "interactive captioning" for this video (along with full quality cc). Can someone tell me if this works in the USA? if so - how to activate it? (Interactive captioning is when there is also a rolling transcript, and one can click on any word, and that takes you to that section of the transcript). Best, LS/CCAC

@siglmgga Yup. I see it here in the US. To activate the interactive transcript you just have to upload your own version of a transcript. It doesn't work for automatically generated captions.

We definitely need more Deaf doctors especially those who know American Sign Language!

I'm so happy Amanda got this opportunity and I'm so proud of my sister Denise who's Captioning business had the opportunity to help Amanda with her classes.

FANTASTIC. Thanks so much for this special video with quality cc too. We invite you all, and we mean ALL to join the CCAC and help us tell the world. Remote CART is so much needed in so many places for so many millions of us, all ages.

Lauren/CCAC/all volunteers, free membership; google the Collaborative for Communication Access via Captioning, the place to be for captioning advocacy (and that means CART too)

That is so totally cool! Make it happen Amanda!
