I am hearing, but I have a son who is completely deaf in one ear and hearing-impaired in the other who uses sign-language as his main form of communication, and I agree that deaf people deserve equal access!

Nice to see so many familiar faces from DVTV!

US Dept of Justice, ADA Federal Regulations: Interpreters DO NOT NEED TO BE CERTIFIED! "An individual does not need to be certified to meet this standard. A certified interpreter may not meet this standard in all situations." ADA Information Line: (800) 514-0301 (voice/relay) or (800) 514-0303 (TDD). And DHH STS C.A.s can revoice your own words when you speak with a "deaf" voice, even if you aren't signing!

"Culturally Deaf" (capital D) people have Left Posterior Superior Temporal Gyrus Hypoplasia, or "LPSGTH" which causes the speech disability. People who are deafened later in life, or who are hearing, do not have LPSGTH. LPSGTH people are the most isolated, excluded, and misunderstood people, and require Equal Communication Access for BOTH their deafness AND for their speech disability.

For those of you who are concerned about trying to caption your videos...I strongly encourage you to check out out a program called Project readOn, which can provide free captioning for Youtube videos.
There is a Deaf man, Jared Evans who has a blog called Jared's Rambling Thoughts. He has a post on how to add subtitles to your home digital video clips.
The important thing is...let's spread the word. Equal Communication Access is more about attitudes than anything else!

There is no question that all media should support the deaf by providing captioning. It is an oversite that should no longer be tolerated. It is not as though you can learn to hear!! I am sadend that with todays technology it is not already a done deal.

Thank you for this well-done film! I will caption my YouTube videos!

Deaf Pundit,
I understand what stavp is saying. While it takes time to caption, it can be done. Yet, the voice recognition software used by TV broadcasters is probably tons quicker. If YouTube acquired such software and made the program available to users, they might be able to add subtitles in a much more immediate way. Thanks for the idea stavp. Still, we encourage YouTube users to do what they can to make their vids accessible. :)

It's fair to ask YouTube and other posters to caption their videos, but not necessarily the most efficient way. Ther's software available that creates close captioning from speech. TV broadcasters use it for live events like sports. It's not always perfect, but pretty good. YouTube (and other sites with audio content) can acquire and such software and apply it to all posted AV files.

If us deaf could caption our videos like some did in the video, then I don't see why people in general can't. Heck, you can even do subtitling in Windows MovieMaker!
The captioning technology is very cheap. It's just that nobody wants to do it.
