does anyone know of a yknow. chill youtuber who's looking for a captioner
#my resume includes a year and a half working in a call center notating calls over the shitty phone headsets and a 120 wpm typing speed#(altho to be fair and balanced ive been out of practice for a few months so that prolly bumps me back down to like#90-100 but the curve for getting back up to speed is like. /a/ day tops and the minimum i see on similar job reqs is 60 wpm so#yknow)#i also have no other job at the moment and therefore no time restrictions#as well as a steady internet connection#as far as captioning itself goesâ i tried out the freelance captioning service rev for a short while but they believed that in unscripted#worksâ filler words like um or uh should be omittedâ whereas i'm of the opinion that captions exist to convey whatever#meaning is included in the words to a non-hearing audienceâ not to judge which words may or may not be deliberate or correct#word choice or w/e#so i knew i wouldn't be able to stand continuing with it despite LOVING their captioning program. oh she was beautiful. i want to kill#youtube's with a thousand rocks#suffice it to say i am extremely passionate about subtitles being as accurate as possible#i have audio processing issues and my bf is partially deaf so when subtitles are bad we both. explode and explode and explode and explode a#which ik ik 'but wait you have audio processing issues and want a job Listening To And Interpreting Audio? how does that work?'#and the answer is it is 1000x easier when i can make the speech as loud as i need w no background noise and pause/replay/slow it#if i had a .75x speed option irl i would be golden#anyways. please i want to transcribe so bad#i also captioned my own hour-long video so i am now. quite familiar with youtubes captioning system#and id say it prolly took me abt 4 hours minus figuring-stuff-out time so like#say a 30 minute finished video would take 2 hrs prolly#im not looking for anything fancy so id prolly be fine w minimum wage cuz thatd be what $15-60 a video? depending on length#so depending on How Many Videos They Make thatd sustain me just fine
