#captioners

[dvasva]

i think this a great time to mention that captioners are usually stenographers who arent paid well at all, have long hours, and their jobs are constantly threatened by ai despite ai being, frankly, bad at picking up stuff. stenography is an intense skill, it requires specialized training and captioners SHOULD be compensated fairly for their work. usually captioners are hired from a third party company and are considered freelance, and captioners have to maintain their own equipment, which can cost a solid couple thousand. if you want better captions, dont discount the work of captioners. advocate for better pay and better working conditions. a lot of captioners go into captioning for worse pay than they'd get as a court reporter because they genuinely want to provide closed captions for the deaf and hard of hearing.

advocate for captioners if you want better captions.

I'm not even like deaf or hoh but if you're adding subtitles to something I think you should always transcribe foreign languages too. None of that [Speaks Spanish] shit. You don't need to translate it to english. But you need to at least give the option for a deaf person to read it and understand it themselves. I don't care if it's not important to the plot. I don't care if it's just them saying like Okay or Damn or whatever the fuck. Write it down

We don’t have a uniform, why do you ask?

Inspired by our friends at Rapid City Public Library (link goes to TikTok). Music only - sound not needed.

[Video Description: A librarian with glasses wearing a polo shirt and shelving books answers an unheard question from someone offscreen. His words are inaudible but the caption reads "The librarian wearing the cardigan and glasses will be able to help you." Video cuts to an information desk where four librarians wearing cardigans and glasses are working. They all turn and wave as four more librarians wearing cardigans and glasses pop out from behind the desk and wave. The librarian from the beginning walks on screen and puts on his own cardigan. And waves.]
