Hello Universe!

Moved to new server.

Re-introduction - Been on here since 2022 and should write an intro again. I'm deaf, I'm a fan of open-source projects, so this will be short and sweet.

Post random ramblings, news, techie stuff, boost mostly cat pics. I just like computers and hang around here.

#NoMoreCraptions: How To Properly Captions Your Videos

Automatically generated video captions are not sufficiently accessible as they lack proper punctuation, capitalization, and spelling, as explained further in this #NoMoreCraptions video by Rikki Poynter: https://youtu.be/-O4YcVQt5NM
Until YouTube and others improve their automatic captions, here's a Python script that runs OpenAI's #Whisper locally on your computer:

The Deaf community are sick of YouTube's auto-generated captions - so Rikki did something about it. #NoMoreCraptions #CaptionsMatter

I’m so happy to see this! https://www.signupcaptions.com/

If only I could convince people to learn sign just because of how much easier to understand it is.

Hey @[email protected], the captions on the latest episode of #WereHereHBO are WILDLY inaccurate (“drug show,” not “drag show” etc.) Please, please have them reviewed & revised. Folks who use captions, esp. multiply-marginalized queer folks, deserve equal access.

Thanks!

auto-generated doesn't count! #NoMoreCraptions

if you don't understand why, try watching a video with the sound off using just auto-generated captions and see how much you can actually understand
