Very good posting. You are right. We need to fight. It’s all about money for them, it’s all about money.
:IK:
I’m always amazed at the excuses given that captions can’t be added yet here we see Deaf adding them with EASE.
Hulu.com has INCREASED their offerings and really works hard to provide more captioned video. Hulu are working very closely with COAT. I’ve been very pleased with Hulu responses to my emails on captions. I stopped the Netflix subscription my son surprised me with for my birthday when we discovered NONE of the videos were captioned and I’d have to use snail mail. pfft on snail mail in this day and age of computer technology.
As full time student, it DRIVES me crazy when teachers make youtube video part of their homework readings. Interpreters are provided in the classroom not in my home. I tell teachers I’m NOT responsible for that reading until they provide videos WITH captions NOR will I be penalitized for their lack of consideration and inclusion. I pay and work hard at my education so I expect to be included and treated with respect.
Many times we have to educate individaully and part of our education sequence includes educating each and every person we encounter becasue we many be the ‘first’ deaf or hard of hearing person the other has ever experience. We pave the road for others coming up behind us.
Another thing, everyone should pass these kinds of videos onto senators, video companies and etc. so they can see that EVERYDAY people can add captions so their excuse of CAN’T is seen for what it really is which is WON’T. I sent this onto Hulu with a THANK YOU for their efforts!
Also Apple provide ichat which MANY DEAF use. Maybe we should start a protest and hit them where it hurts most… buying Macs and using ichat.
Great vlog post.
Back in 1997, at Boston Macworld when Steve Jobs re-joined Apple, he talked about how shocked he was when he learned that Apple is the world’s largest education provider.
Apple always goes out of its way to emphasize with each new release of an OS how much cooler their technology is for the blind. The perennial issue of tables/columns on a webpage is always something Apple tackles with great gusto.
They always tout their new text-to-speech technology. (Heck, that was one of Steve’s demands when releasing the Mac in 1984!). And yet, you hardly ever see Apple do anything of substance for the Deaf. It seams captions are about it. That’s so 1984!
Exhibit A: Snow Leopard

The whole page is dedicated to the blind. You have to click a link all the way at the bottom to see what’s new for the Deafies.
Apple is now the largest music distributor in the world. Apple is now the number one distributor of applications for cell phones in the world. They’re pretty close to being the world’s larget distributor of movies in the world. Surely they can pressure companies to offer CC? Apple always used to do/does the right thing. I’m sure they will do the right thing in the future.
