Now you've got me thinking. Is there anything similar to the Talking
Newspapers service for internet content? Should there be? A group of
fast typing volunteers/proofreaders could provide transcripts to popular
non subtitled items. We'd barely be scratching the surface of what needs
to be done but is it worth thinking about Leslie?

Patrick,
I was definitely serious. I miss out on so many excellent online
workshops, streaming audio, and presentations because I can't
hear/understand the people who speak during those events. Lipreading
over the Internet has its limitations ;)
Anyone who provides transcripts or subtitling does an enormous,
incalculable service for Deaf and hard of hearing professionals like
me. We get to smile, laugh, and ponder right along with everyone
else, instead of a few seconds later.

Leslie,
I'm trying to figure out if you were being serious, or just sarcastic...
but interestingly enough, I was actually going to do a quick transcript
of it this weekend and nudge Jeffrey to make that available as well.
I could also have a stab at SMIL...could be an interesting little
exercise,
as I've done a bit of it in the past.
Watch this space :)

Any way there's a transcript available? I'm deaf and sooooooooo
very interested in what Zeldman had to say. I'd love it if I could
read the transcript while watching the video...
What would send me to absolute nirvana would be to have the video
contain captioning (subtitling) right IN the video - ohhhhhhh, just
the very thought of it thrills me... <thud> Ugh, that was me coming
back to terra firma.
