YouTube to include captions for hearing impaired, meetings

. What's this?

Google today will make available automatic speech recognition captioning for its YouTube video selection. You can also add captioning manually by following directions on YouTube's site here.

Once your transcription is in, you can allow YouTube/Google Translate to transcribe the captioning into 51 different languages. That might also help international viewers enjoy your content and spread its message.

Google, being the search behemoth, will also be able to crawl the transcriptions and index their content for relevant video searches more easily. There's always a tie in isn't there?


This feature will not only help out the hard of hearing and the global community, it wll also help those long boring meetings go by a little quicker.
