Fwd: Universal Subtitles will caption your videos!

[Stormy Peters <speters mozilla com>]

Universal Subtitles is awesome. You can easily transcribe a video and then localization folks can translate the text.

If there are particular GNOME videos we would like subtitles for, we should add them ...

Hello Stormy,

I'm contacting you on the behalf of Dean Jansen at the Participatory Culture Foundation. You might have heard of Universal Subtitles, a project we are currently working that enables collaborative creation and editing of subtitles for online video. Great for reaching an audience that doesn't speak your language, or to improve accessibility for deaf and hard of hearing users.

We're currently working on a list of social interest videos, as well as on a page where deaf and hard of hearing users can suggest social videos they'd like subtitled.  We are also working with organizations to ask what videos they would like subbed. This is where you come in: its a chance for your organization to get free captions and translations from volunteers.

So, if you'd like to send me links for one to four videos you'd like captioned and translated, we'll get the ball rolling!

Best regards,

Ed
