Please caption this for the benefit of deaf people who don't understand ASL. I understand him mostly via ASL (except when the shots are wide, and the presentation graphics cut in. It's important to be inclusive of people who rely on various language inputs. Thanks.
This video is perfect for my beginning ASL students. They are hearing, so I crank up the volume and turn CC off. The concept of using ASL as a bridge to connect communities and "universal design" for community environments are profound takeaways. As a hearing person, I believe Deaf Culture and ASL should be celebrated and recognized for promoting shared humanity. Thank you, Davin!
Mr. Searls, thank you for your talk. I appreciate very much your desire to see the hearing and Deaf communities both grow in depth and strength as a result of increased connectedness. Also, I do understand ASL, but am not a native speaker. Thank you for signing very clearly. The only critical comment I have is regarding the wide-angle shots. They are too far away, I had to strain to comprehend what you were saying.
Hey I'm not the only one to complain but I'm going to pitch my voice in too. Please caption the videos. The audio quality isn't great and not everyone who's hard of hearing is proficient at sign, that's a privilege and the very topic of this video! The auto-generated captions are very wrong and it's hard to keep up when I have to mentally correct them to be able to follow.
I have few complaints for this video. Although the slides that popped up were unnecessary to me. I was trying to watch his signing and it was sort of distracting to have those pop up. Oh, and the captioning was ridiculously off. Like seriously crazy off. Still, it's a great video and message : )
This is a great video, but I had to give it a thumbs down because of the fact that the closed captioning is way off. If I may, I want to suggest something for the future videos, please don't trust the automatic closed captioning that youtube has. Please, for the sake of equal access too communication, please add the captioning yourself. Especially during the part where the video cut to the power point for a few seconds. The presenter was continueing on with his presentation but the closed captioning was not matching what he was saying. Again, this is just a suggestion. I hope that everyone is having a good day.
The poor CC is a RUclips weakness. It's lousy for all videos. Donald Lively wrote, "This is a total failure and validates that they are not desires about accessibility. It is a two way street" . The fault here is not with the presenter. It is with TED. By the poor production of this video from a Deaf perspective, TED is oblivious to Deaf needs. There should have been a scribed CC and an insert of the Davin every time a slide was shown. There should never be any wide shots. That would have been a showing of understanding of the Deaf needs and presented TED's clear understanding of the Deaf needs. I expect there were many assumptions made here that TED, the producers of the video and the interpreter were collaborating to produce a fully accessible and DEAF presentation. It's possible that Davin didn't make the needs clear or assumed TED was on the ball. They dropped it instead.
FWIW... I am not skilled at ASL, nor am I able to hear well. The narrative is difficult, and at times impossible to understand, and the close captioning is flawed.
Piss poor captioning and the auditory element of this presentation is zero speech discrimination for a deaf man, me, with 90% speech discrimination with my Cochlear Implant in a nominal environment. If the Deaf want accessibility they need to make themselves accessible! This is a total failure and validates that they are not desires about accessibility. It is a two way street.
The interpreter sounds like they are speaking from inside a 55 gallon metal drum that is coming from around the corner somewhere. The captioning makes NO sense. This goes to the core complaint about the DC. Sequestering themselves, isolating and self segregating - the society that is more exclusive than the wealthiest people in America. Please redo this presentation with a new oral narrative. My wife hearing is fine and she cannot comprehend what the person is saying. BTW, I am pre lingual deaf and have never known hearing without technology over the last 60 years. This presentation only validates that my mainstream education was a lot better and smarter than his. I can speak and interact with any group speaking English, W/O the necessity of an interpreter. And in most public venues you require at least 2 interpreters because of the fatigue and anxiety elements. This does not and will not create any kind of bonding. The bonding is needed. Fix your side of the equation - now!
Donald Liveley You said "This presentation only validates that my mainstream education was a lot better and smarter than his"... so because you can recognize an issue with the sound quality of one video, not many, but one video, that makes you smarter than someone else? I know how to jet ski, do you? I sure hope so because if not that means my educational background trumps yours. I totally agree that the desire for accessibility is a two way street but how would he know this if he can't hear? He trusted that the interpreter would be fully capable of meeting that need and obviously was not. Therefore, a mature and productive solution needs to be sought. Not ranting and complaining on youtube where no one will take you seriously. "I can speak and interact with any group speaking English, W/O the necessity of an interpreter. And in most public venues you require at least 2 interpreters because of the fatigue and anxiety elements". That's good you know English, now let's head over to China and see if you're still boasting your language skills. It's not his fault people can't understand his native language. He did what any respectful person would do; make communication and understanding available. What you seem to be suggesting is that if he's not conforming to the world (being Deaf in a hearing world), that any and all inaccessibilities and inadequacies are his fault because he refuses to be unhappy with himself. The majority of the world may be hearing, so what? Must we all conform to what the rest of the world is? The majority of the world is technically Asian and speaks an Asian language... do you? Being Deaf is only a disability in which everyone else is NOT Deaf. If the majority of the world were Deaf, being hearing would be a disability.
