Check to see what Michael Smolens of dotSUB.com says about captioning their videos. :) dotSUB.com is one of several online companies out there that captions media for the deaf. They also provide captions in other languages for the deaf and for the people who don't speak English.
Isn't this awesome!!! Please support this, and let them know how much you appreciate their efforts to do this.
UPDATE: Thanks to Todos la vie for asking the question. Once you get to dotSUB.com website, click on Latest, and then you'll see "Michael at Rocketboom Session during Podcamp NYC." Click on that.
As for Rocketboom latest episodes, go to Latest, and then you'll see a list of different episodes, which are chronologically dated. Enjoy!

I easily registered and am tickled to see a lot of subtitling of videos. Wow, what a good promotion on subtitling for us by Mr. Smolens. He talked about the other languages then segued to captioning for us in front of a conference.
Thanks for passing on that link. Do you press "most viewed?" There's so many, not sure where to start!

By the way, do you have your own website or a blog? If you do, I would like to see yours.
Enjoy :-)

It sure looks more captioning movies than back in January... Thanks for letting me visit again once more again!
Andrew Baron of Rocketboom and dotSUB are truly committed to creating a browser based platform to enable the hearing impaired in all countries of the world to pro-actively get involved with enabling online video podcasts, video blogs or any other type of online video, (assuming permission from the rights holder), to be captioned long before any legal requirements or even formal political lobbying has started.
The format will be perfectly readable, enabling scores of other languages to also be captioned in a readable format, and it won't require any downloads or any training and can be done by anyone bi-lingual between any language pairs. It can be a 'wiki' type of efforts led by anyone who feels that particular content is important for others to be able to enjoy.
This is a community effort, and not one which fits into any already existing sets of rules, formats or structures. It can be viewed as 'fan-subbing on steroids'.
Nothing like this has ever before been attempted, so we are going to make a lot of mistakes and are anxious to learn from all of them so we can continue to improve our service and enable a wider selection of web based video to be available to the global hearing impaired community.
The entire service and process is totally user generated and free!!
Feel free to get in touch with me at dotSUB - michael@dotsub.com or Andrew Baron of Rocketboom - andrew@rocketboom.com - with any ideas or suggestions as to how we can be of help.
Sincerely,
Michael L. Smolens
