#closedcaptions — Public Fediverse posts

Ars Technica: Google temporarily disabled YouTube’s advanced captions without warning. “Google has now posted a brief statement and confirmed to Ars that it has not ended support for SRV3. However, all is not well. The company says it has temporarily limited the serving of SRV3 caption files because they may break playback for some users.”

Question for nerds and video watchers: are the closed captions available in this (you may have to enable them)?

The Register: Chinese TV uses AI to translate broadcasts into sign language. It’s not going well. “China’s efforts to employ AI as a means of improving access to media for its deaf population aren’t going well, according to a professor at Beijing Normal University’s Faculty of Education.”

What’s one thing you wish every video producer or content creator knew about closed captions (or Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing)?

Today, I'm finally finishing the #Hanafuda #Papercraft project. I'll be completing the December Phoenix card, and then if I have time, framing all twelve pieces. All while listening to chill music.

Because I don't have any other projects lined up, I'll be pausing Maker Monday for a while. Come hang out for what might be the final Maker Monday ever!

It's Maker Monday, and I'm finally back to making #papercraft #hanafuda cards! Today I'll be starting the October card featuring a blue ribbon with maple leaves. It's been nearly two months since a papercraft stream, let's hope I remember how to use scissors.

Come hang out and give me stuff to talk about. Or just join and enjoy the chill vibes and music. https://twitch.tv/fadedoasis

I've looked into alternative ways to sub youtube videos, and NekoCap seems to be the best one so far.

It's open source, no AI stuff or paywalls, supports a bunch of other video sites, and it supports complex subs so you can use different fonts, do text placement, all that cool stuff. They have their own subs editor, but I have never used it, just make my subs on AegisSub and upload them there.

You do need to have a google account to upload subs there, which is eh, but you get your own little page with all the videos you subbed and you can put a donation link there which is nice.

It links to the original youtube videos, so you can share them from the NekoCap website or just use their web extension to watch straight from YouTube, no account needed.

Anyway, I think it's neat, been using it a decent amount, I like it.

Well, in lieu of a better option for now, the show notes for Finding Our Words can be found here, I suppose!

I've reached the cave entrance on the top of this ice mountain, which means it's serious-time. Come join me as I try not to have all my pets die in Coromon!

FadedOasis is climbing a mountain. Why is he climbing a mountain?

It's another Coromon stream, and I just unlocked the cable cars! Let's climb this mountain and see if we can find Captain Kirk. Or the next Titan. Probably not Kirk.

Okay. so Coromon didn't make me do any accents last stream. Instead I had to plan a team of three, find and catch them, use them in only one fight, and then THROW THEM AWAY.

I don't like it. I'm gonna take my anger out on the Fire Titan, or whatever the heck is next. Come watch me play more Coromon!

(If you want. I can't force you. But I'd appreciate it!)

Friday! Friday! Gotta catch 'mon on Friday!

I'm playing Coromon! The aliens finally showed up and said I'm getting in their way, and then one of them fought me. I won, though, so I bet I won't hear from them for a few hours. Probably. https://twitch.tv/fadedoasis/

Taking a break from Balatro to continue Coromon! Let's see if I can beat up the sand Titan! 😀

Any #accessibility, #inclusivedesign, or #ux peeps know of any research whether #closedcaptions should be on or off by default? Please note that I don't want your *opinion* unless it's backed by research. Thanks!
