These videos are hilarious in CC!

Just click the red "CC" button under the video, then click "transcribe audio" in menu.

Then another popup shows, click "OK". :)

@bustindustin01 I don't think they have slightest idea what I'm talking about!

Yahoo! Thank you! Christmas no longer feels the same for me because my family doesn't put lights up anymore and my sister and I are the only ones who put up the tree. I miss the older days when everybody celebrate Christmas together, but it's kinda gone now. I'm glad you still have to Christmas spirit. : ]

@bloodytearz22 Oh that's a shame- but at least you keep it up :)

That's beautiful!! ~Fast and nice~ I wonder have you ever shaked your hand when writing or drawing? My hands sometimes shake when drawing, especially drawing a straight line!!

@bustindustin01 You can move the text as well :D

@ShooRaynerDrawing In your video, there is a 'cc' button, click it. Then lick it again, click 'Translate Audio' click okay, it'll translate everything you say.
