  3. 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible DesignThe 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design states: A public accommodation shall take those steps that may be necessary to ensure that no individual with a disability is excluded, denied services, segregated, or otherwise treated differently than other individuals because of the absence of auxiliary aids and services, unless the public accommodation can demonstrate that taking those steps would fundamentally alter the nature of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodation being offered or would result in an undue burden, significant difficulty, or expense. The updated ADA regulation now specifies that open or closed captioning are included in the term "auxiliary aids and services."

  4. Definitions: • Open captions = when the captions are on all the time, for example the version has captions burned into the streaming video and cannot be turned off • Closed captions = when the captions are optionally available, can be turned on or off. • Fun fact: the first TV captions were on PBS in 1972. [Julia Childs] WGBH is still a leader in the field (see next slide!)

  5. Some tools you can use for your own captioning • CADET was developed at PBS, it allows people to add captions and also voice descriptive capacity for visually impaired students, it is web based and free.

  6. What MC3 uses: outside vendor Verbit AI Verbit AI

  7. VERBIT AIspecs • Turnaround time: typically 2 days or fewer • Cost: $1.00 per minute of finished product • What do I have to do to prepare? • 1. Prepare your file for upload. Check Verbit to make sure it is a compatible file • 2. Upload the file (drag and drop). Check the queue and wait for results.

  8. Some other considerations • Some vendors, film producers, distributors will trade license fees for subtitles provided. Ask, it does not hurt • Look at the Subscenes to see if your video’s titles are already completed. [Most of the films are feature films] The subtitles file is open source, the video would be on your side.

  9. Glitchy things • We have had issues in the past with captioning of Ethnographic films. It’s good to check the files when returned to make sure proper names are spelled correctly • (Sources could be: the original DVD box or VHS sleeve, print material that came with the resource, online references, OCLC catalog records, etc.)

  15. Guardian article: Signed languages can do so many things spoken languages can’t Sarah KlenbortOctober 19, 2014 10. You can carry on a complex conversation in the loudest pub or club, while people all around you scream into each other’s ears, trying to convey something as simple as, I’m going to the toilet now. 9. Visual languages are more accessible, not only for people who are fully deaf, but (in theory) for the 1 in 6 Australians who have a hearing loss. 8. You can ask your partner to pick up the mail from the balcony when he’s standing in the parking lot, four floors down, without disturbing the neighbours. 7. You can talk underwater. 6. Storytelling is more engaging and detailed in visual languages. Because they are visual-spatial, signed languages are particularly adept at describing space and movement. 5. You can talk through car windows. It’s easy to give directions to a signing friend driving behind or in front. 4. Deaf people who sign have been proven to be more “multilingual”. In a fascinating study lead by UK academic and researcher Sabaji Panda, it was found that if you put two deaf people in a room, who have no shared language, it’s only a matter of hours before they find a way to communicate (imagine trying that with hearing people.) Because signed languages have shorter histories, their grammars typically share certain features, which means that even if two deaf people have no common vocabulary, it takes short time before they can figure out a way to communicate. 3. You can critique a terrible lecture/performance/reading without anyone in the audience hearing you. 2. Unlike Esperanto, that failed international spoken language, International Sign has taken off since the advent of social media. Deaf people often learn and use IS when they travel overseas, skype, and/or present at international deaf conferences and events. 1. A signed language, often referred to as the “natural language of the deaf”, offers deaf people a sense of belonging and a positive identity.
