YouTube and Closed Caption

January 30, 2018

In order to make your website compliant, if you are posting a video, you need to have closed captioning (CC) and a transcript of the closed captioning. I had made Geometry instructional videos when I had a deaf student in class. Closed captioning in mathematics is very difficult, so I had an interpreter signing the video in the corner of the video. When I asked if that was good enough (I honestly thought it was above and beyond), I was told it wouldn't work.

I don't know about you, but my ability to do dictation, is not good. Thankfully YouTube can help. Below is a short video on how YouTube can help you add closed captioning to your videos with minimal effort on your part. (HINT: When you record your video, speak clearly and slowing for less editing later)
