Hi Susan

It's Captioned. Click the "arrow" on the bottom right and click CC. That's how captioning works on YouTube.

Cheers

David MacDonald

[SusanAlcornMacKay]

Any hope for captioning? and ASL interpreting??

:)

[mccid]

Excellent! You said it all!

[drmantle]

Excellent! What else can be said! Thank you!

[FortGr33n]

too bad they didn't use a spell checker - It's the principal (sic) of the thing!

[ErampAccess]

Yeah, I have a corrected version, I'll be uploading soon. One of those embarassing typos... I'll leave this one up though because it's on a lot of the blogs.

[coater2]

i love it that it's captioned as well...

looks cool!

[parksalaska]

This is great - Love it! I do a lot of web accessibility training and this would be a great icebreaker.

[oberazzi]

Fantastic.

Thats a great video - "very sensitive about my binary genetic makeup" haha. I work in the field of web accessibility and it's always great to see the topic being promoted in such a funny way.

[lucidialohman]

That was wonderful. The bit about the 'screen reader' asking if it needed to 'slow down for you' made me roar with laughter. I'm not blind, but I use JAWS a lot in my accessibility testing, and I completely understand the feeling. Wonderful idea and great execution!

[erafen]

This is just great! fantastic! It's so cool!

I'm a specialist in accessibility and I'll use this video as the introduction of all my presentations and tutorials from now on.

Thanks for this.

[binnielanning]

This is fantastic Dave! Congratulations on the song & video. Over 4000 views...so far!

It's a great way to get the word out.

[tlghur]

That was really NEAT-O! I help make braille textbooks, but I didn't know anything about the WCAG. Now I'll need to look into it more. It looks really interesting. Loved the humor, the computer was hilarious - esp at the end!

[rasclarksm]

Fun video! I thought the singer was great (the human one.) Who is he? What else has he done? Reminded me a bit of Chris Daughtry - but that could have been because of the similar hair do.

[ErampAccess]

That was me singing, David MacDonald. Many years ago I was on Broadway in a show and dod the US National Tour of Cats. I blew out my voice and lost my career. That's how I ended up in the disability field 10 years ago. Now I just sing on and off when it's in good shape.

[rasclarksm]

In addition to the singing, the writing, production, and content were really entertaining. I hope you're making a living with your music in and out of the disability field. Only 3,320 views so far!!?? Hopefully this will become one of those viral You Tube videos! I'm bookmarking this page so I can see where it goes.

[kathoadraytube]

It's wonderful! Thanks a lot.

I had a person ask how I made Sharky talk, asking whether it was a real person through a synthesizer.

I created Sharkey's dialogue by typing out everything I wanted Sharky to say and then getting JAWS screen reader to read it while I recorded the output using another computer to capture the voice. I did this using various settings on JAWS for different speeds and pitches. Then I transferred the recorded files to my music program Cubase, and cut it up to go on the beat.

The video is captioned. Click the arrow in the bottom right corner of the player. A button with the letters "CC" (Closed Captioning) will appear. Select it. That's how captioning works on YouTube.

[webgeekstress]

But where's the captioning of the audio track? This video isn't WCAG conformant!

[webgeekstress]

Ah, I'm properly abashed. Many thanks for the explanation.

I love the "fastest rapper in the world" bit!
