YouTube introduces automatic captions for deaf viewers

November 23rd, 2009 2:17 am by valrianga

YouTube’s parent company Google has announced on its blog that automatic captions are to begin to roll out across the site. The machine-generated captions will initially be generated in English. At first they will only be found on 13 channels. These include National Geographic, Columbia, as well as most Google and YouTube channels. The software engineer behind the technology, Ken Harrenstien, is deaf. Currently YouTube offers a manual captioning service but video makers tend not to use it. “The majority of user-generated video content online is still inaccessible to people like me,” Mr Harrenstien wrote in the Google blog.
