Some say that the printed page is going out of style, but in the world of turning recordings into print, it’s alive and well. A transcript of your audio can help those who are hearing impaired to gain the same information as those who listen to the recording.
Cara Sayer, Owner and Inventor of www.SnoozeShade.com approached us asking for her YouTube videos to be transcribed. Cara has been very generous with gifts of her product in the past, so we decided to offer her the opportunity to have closed-captioning added to her YouTube videos at no extra cost. Here is a sample…
After the video starts playing, click on the red CC box to show the subtitles/captions:
Think of how much larger your audience would be if you offered your material in writing, either by using subtitling or closed captions, or by having your audio and video files transcribed for people to read.
Besides the hearing-impaired community, many people would rather read the material instead of watching a video or listening to an audio. So by offering both options, you also increase your following!
