RNID welcomes steps to make YouTube more accessible In a move designed to make YouTube more accessible for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, English-language video clips will now be captioned automatically.
RNID Director of External Affairs, Emma Harrison, says: “RNID welcomes Google taking this first step towards making YouTube more accessible for viewers who are deaf. Captioning will significantly help their understanding of video content and increase their ability to share experiences of watching those in which speech plays a prominent part."
“We believe that all on-demand content should be accessible and RNID will continue lobbying hard to ensure that people with a hearing loss have better opportunities to enjoy subtitled videos, movies and television programmes.”
