Dear Jeffrey,
It might not help your situation, but I wanted to let you know that YouTube now allows for contributions. If the owner set up this option, then closed captions can be contributed.

Hope this information is helpful to you and the group.

Adam,



I also recommend the use of Amara <http://amara.org/en/> in this scenario.



Before using Amara, it might also help to use Aeneas <https://github.com/readbeyond/aeneas/> , which is a free tool that takes care of synchronizing the transcript with the YouTube video.



If you have the transcript, just create an Aeneas project (from the command line <https://github.com/readbeyond/aeneas/blob/master/wiki/INSTALL.md> or the Aeneas web app <https://aeneasweb.org/login> ) that aligns your transcript with the audio from the YouTube video. In the Aeneas web app, select the second button, "CC Task (from segmented text)", add desired settings, and enter the location of the transcript and the URL for the YouTube video.



If you don't have a transcript, use the Aeneas web app to download the YouTube auto captions, which provide a "rought draft". Once editing is done, add any desired settings, and submit for alignment. The syncmap is sent to the registered email address.



I have listed these steps below:




Creating CC files with Aeneas + Amara




1. Create a Aeneas membership at <http://www.aeneasweb.org>
www.aeneasweb.org
2. Under Submit New Job, select "CC Task (from scratch)"
3. Enter the URL for the YouTube video, select the language (of the
video), and press download Auto CC
4. In the Review Automatic CC window, edit the content of the automatic
CC file by

a. Correcting misrecognitions
b. Correcting punctuation
c. Ending each sentence or grammatical unit on each line in the editor
window

5. Press the Segment button to create new caption blocks
6. Review the revised caption blocks and press Upload
7. In the Other Settings window, further tweak your Aeneas project by:

a. Ignoring certain strings of text (e.g., speaker identification)
b. Identifying the head and tail of the audio file
c. Removing non-speech fragments of audio (for alignment purposes only)
d. Adjusting the boundary algorithm
<https://www.readbeyond.it/aeneas/docs/adjustboundaryalgorithm.html>
(changes how the aligner handles consecutive text fragments in relation to the determined maximum characters/second value)

8. Enter the name and format of the syncmap; then click Submit to send
project to the aligner
9. An email is sent with an attachment of the syncmap (e.g., VTT, SRT,
JSON, SUB, TTML) to the registered email address.
10. Upload the syncmap to the Amara account.



HTH,



Joseph

Hello Adam,



Although I haven't tried it personally, a colleague of mine has recommended Amara as an overlay for YouTube videos. Supposedly you can add transcripts into Amara and it will show the caption and transcript over the youtube video. I think the YouTube video may have to be listed as public for it to work..



http://amara.org/en/



Let me know if the tool meets your needs.



Best,

Vanessa

Subject: [Athen] Adding captions to YouTube videos you don't own



Hello wise list-ers!



A professor of ours is showing a YouTube video they don't own and that doesn't have accurate captioning. We are currently working on a transcript but I definitely want to see if there is any way we can add captions to the video since that is way better than a print-out transcript. I reached out to the video's poster to ask that they enable community captioning, but haven't heard back yet. 3PlayMedia can give me access to a Caption Plugin that lets me do exactly this, but that costs however much they charge for a Pro account with them and being a private university we are looking to go as cheap as humanly possible.



Any ideas/leads?



Best,

Adam

coordinator?

<CAJc9Xam33L-A2A+Xw3OMNiRkrSQvSmv=afrpYcTezQ8DhB4WLA at mail.gmail.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"

I am working on writing a position description for a Digital Accessibility Coordinator for my mid-sized community college.

Just to give you a summary of the position, the plan is for this person to coordinate and lead school efforts to meet WCAG 2.0 Level AA. He/she will develop, coordinate, and lead a usability/accessibility testing team.
He/she will also serve as a leader, coach, consultant, and trainer to faculty and staff regarding digital accessibility. Note, we outsource our website management so this person would not oversee the accessibility of the website or have to do extensive web coding. However, he/she would help train faculty and staff to be mindful of what they send to the website technician to be loaded by way of documents, etc. He/she would also be responsible for helping faculty with the digital content they post for their courses.

Anyhow, since this is a new position, I wanted to tap into the expertise of the group. Can anyone share with me offline a position description for a comparable position? Also, I'm curious as to what type of educational background/degree is acceptable to ask for when it comes to this type of position. I'm not aware of a digital/web accessibility degree but perhaps there is one or something similar? Or, perhaps the applicant's experience is more valuable than the degree? I would love to hear what others have had success with. Please feel free to message me offline:
dori_lloyd at davidsonccc.edu.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm trying to gather resources that evaluate the accessibility of 3rd party tools used on campus, including in the online learning environment.
CU-Boulder has a nice resource for this at http://www.colorado.edu/accessibility/resources/accessibility-supported-technologies
.

Anyone know of any similar resources?

Thanks,

We were just directed to this VPAT Repository<http://uniaccessig.org/lua/vpat-repository/> put together by the Librarians for Universal Accessibility.

It only relates to library items but it?s helpful nonetheless.
