Universal Subtitles Protocol (ASL subbed)
Posted on
For more information: www.mozilla.org Note: Due to some of commenters, I would like to do what they want to clarify: Not ALL vbloggers are LAZY. The subtitling process is time-consuming and not everyone can easily make it with their schedule or find it too difficult to write down what happens in the video. I simply chose a lazy vblogger as example, because they DO exist.

Great video. I agree. There just aren’t enough quality subtitles on YouTube. I am trying to to do my small part. I upload classic cartoons and I subtitle every one of them.

this is retarded and a waste of time. Learn to speak right fags or do the world a favor and kill yourself so your defective genes don’t taint our race anymore

That is so neat!! I hope it gets done because then every video would theoretically be available to anyone!

@Compumavengal I agree its not easy to make subtitles correct without spending your whole day on it. Also with there being over 5000 languages, asking the maker to include the languages is a bit far-fetched, but with this protocol having loads of extra people making subtitles would be great!

I heard that was Russian.
Though I can understand your confusion, since you obviously haven’t figued out the correct use of “too” yet yourself

@IshidaLyons I mean if you compare the english langauge and others its oen of the hardest.

@metallavery Uhhh… *facepalm* When people learn different language, it sometime hard for them to learn different languages including English. It can be considered the hardest language to learn in some populations. The issue is NOT black and white.

@sideim
In my case, it not simply that I’m lazy, it simply that I am hard of hearing. Let me tell you what happen, people don’t write notes all the time, they use their hands to sign. There are variety of languages that go along with sign languages, therefore sentence structure is different. Why can’t YOU learn sign language (ASL or Sign English) like the deaf and the hard of hearing people?
Ask audiologist or speech therapist to learn more about disability, ta ta!

I was going to comment on that same point compumavengal. Its not that most videobloggers are lazy its that its hard to find good software; and obviously people without hearing impairments did not think of captioning or no captioning as an issue. Thanks Mozzilla for bringing this issue to light.

Love the idea. Just one quick point. It is not that videobloggers are lazy about subtitles and captions. It is hard to find good software that works that isn’t confusing or takes up a lot of time. YouTube captioning is a good start but many post videos with other web hosts. I hope someday that there will be an auto-transcribing feature that listens to the speech in the video and creates the text. In the meantime, yeah let’s make this happen.

Great idea. I am not deaf but I have always watched things with subtitles (where available). It helped me learn new words and correct spelling, and increased my reading speed.

No. I won’t.
