B2B consulting services to improve your ability to communicate and increase sales to 466 million deaf customers.
There are many videos online that either don’t have captions or have auto captions. Auto captions are not of acceptable quality. Bad captions are not better than no captions. Machine generated captions fail to meet many good quality captioning guidelines. It’s like reading a book that is not edited and includes a lot of grammatical mistakes – which makes it hard to enjoy the book. Low quality captions are like a poorly written book.
According to data from the Archives of Internal Medicine published in 2011, there are 48 million of American people aged 12 or older having hearing loss. If including 3 million of children, it would make a total of over 50 million of deaf and hard of hearing people in USA. It’s one in five Americans!
After many complaints for 6 years about the lack of captioning feature, Vimeo finally implemented it recently and made it public on January 7th.
