As far as budget, the cost of captioning at the University of Washington is covered in multiple ways. We were part of an effort to go out to bid that resulted in a state-wide contract for captioning with 3 Play Media. We provide guidelines (e.g., how to edit
automatic captions available on YouTube, how to arrange for captioning through a vendor) and training (follow the “Creating Videos” link at
<a href="http://www.uw.edu/accessibility" class="">www.uw.edu/accessibility</a>). My unit also has a pool of money that campus units can apply for in order to pay for the captioning of our highest-impact videos (with priority to publicly posted videos where
there is expected to be a high number of views). Money for the subsidized captioning comes from our central IT organization, UW-IT, to which I report. Our Disability Resources for Students office and the Disability Services Office (for faculty, staff, visitors)
arrange and pay for the captioning of videos done as an accommodation for individuals with disabilities. For other captions individuals and units can pay for captioning or create them themselves.
