than I can. >>Jack Jason: It's basically -- Marlee Matlin: Talk -- >>Jack Jason: Yes, as Marlee said, back in 1990 and then again in 1994, legislation was passed that required broadcasters to closed caption , because they wouldn't do it themselves. Now, with everything moving to the Internet, it seems the information that's there captioned isn't moving with captions .They're still not captioning it. HR-3101 is intended to force Internet providers to caption what's already been captioned . So it's applying that law to the Internet.
"play" button, I was horrified to find that the film that I had lobbied to get closed captioned 20 years earlier was shown without captions .I was told that the technology was not out there and that I had to be patient and to

All writers and readers knew that human beings had broad identities, not narrow ones. And the caption said, "Yes, and then you just have to click on the boy that you like best." Now, American newspaper, pretty rude about the Pope.
So you could be creative and not suck. And the caption went.
So, I started looking into it a little harder. That's a traditional caption comic.
caption , because they wouldn't do it themselves. Now, with everything moving to the Internet, it seems the information that's there captioned isn't moving with captions .They're still not captioning it. HR-3101 is intended to force Internet providers to caption what's already been captioned . So it's applying that law to the Internet. There's a lot of complaints. Well, a lot of it is user-generated.
When Cobb returns to his children at the end of the film and asks them what they have been doing, they say, "They are building a house on a cliff." Turn the captions on and you'll see it right there in black and white. It looks like a subconscious element of Saito--Saito's subconscious--is working its way through into
That was a good laugh, I want that on record. is that I have data on the caption contest.
That was a good laugh, I want that on record. Hundreds of basically the same caption come in for every single contest.
So, not "The New Yorker," but "New York" magazine, and he was looking at the back page where they have the cartoon caption competition. And he was looking at the cartoon caption competition, the dentist came back and said, oh, look, Mike. I see you're looking at the cartoon caption competition.
of a woman clothed in a revealing dress] So that brings us to porn of course, [pause while video shows slide with a picture of a woman, and image of Marilyn Monroe on the cover of Playboy Magazine with the caption "Porn=Infidelity and Objectification on bottom of slide] so again the negatives of porn are numerous and all around us and we hear about them every day. It is seen as a cause for everything from marital infidelity to objective, object, objects, I can't even say it. That word there.
in the distance as the titles roll my camera zooms forward over the grasslands to a single Mountain a caption appears Boran calun the sacred mountain of the Mongols Northern Mongolia 1181 that's the mountain as it is today

So I tweeted like crazy to the thousands of followers that I had on Twitter, and I made sure that my friends, like Ashton Kutcher and Alyssa Milano knew what was going on and -- what was going on with closed captions on the Internet. And I encouraged them to re-Tweet. And they did.
There was a statue being unveiled in the capitol rotunda. It was streamed live without captions . Here we're celebrating and honoring a woman who fought for equality and accessibility over 100 years ago, and who I looked up to as a role model, and I wasn't even able to share the celebration of her life.
So one product that is actually really, really cool, and I would love to see improved, is audio captioning for YouTube videos. The idea is fantastic of having computers automatically caption videos. That creates so many opportunities, so many potentials, for the deaf community, but also for the hearing community,
That was a good laugh, I want that on record. OK. Sometimes the best caption is the very simplest.

Marlee Matlin: You know, listen, when captions first came out on television, it was, like, three's company was the first show that had captions . I was just fascinated with the fact that there were words on screen.
That was a good laugh, I want that on record. I can't believe it, someone stole my caption , I can't believe it.
I think that it more properly cited. Because as you say, the caption underneath is "Based on a true story." I was thinking about that, and I said, maybe it'd be more apt if it-- "Based loosely on a true story." But yet at the same time, should we expect Hollywood to tailor its entertainment objectives and a
the sort that we would not have expected to see, right? It also leads, of course, to lots and lots of lolcats, right? Lolcats are cute pictures of cats made cuter with the addition of cute captions , are also, are also use of the cognitive surplus, right? Because free time is free time, experiments are experiments. There's no need for it to be high-minded. It can be all over the map and in fact, it is.
I mean, a lot of stuff on YouTube is made by people who go to YouTube. Well, you guys solved that problem with automatic captions . Now it's time for the other people to do that. So that's what HR-3101 is intended to do.
Then one suggestion, and this is more for Ken, actually. You talk about like, when you have captions , you -- sometimes you can can't really tell which one on screen is talking. Since we have this automatic captioning technology mostly related to voice recognition, we can probably also recognize the tone in the voice, like the pitch in the voice to tell whether it's male or female or other traits of the
That was a good laugh, I want that on record. One of things, of course, we have is our caption contest.

That was a good laugh, I want that on record. Then there's the monkeys you ordered, which just simply says what's in the caption .
And it's your job to connect them, to create some storyline that in a really fun and interesting way connects them. So here's a picture of two businessmen and a hobby horse, and here is the caption that they had, "We'll start you out here, then give you more responsibilities as you gain experience." Maybe that could happen here at Google.
unidentified voice: Godspeed, NASA, caption and the crew of Discovery. Thank you everyone who helped . I'm gonna step up the signs on the International Space Station.

but Getty is. So what we did was we looked at each photograph and the captions associated with them.
that -- we said, "You need to provide access for the millions of users who are Deaf or hard of hearing. So by providing closed captions , they can get access." More importantly, they failed to understand that original programming had captions , but that the Internet had to have the captions as well. Eventually, the frustration increased so much, because I had to fight to make -- to do what I did 20 years ago all over again.
Just as you did when you pioneered the search engine, you are helping to ensure the commitment and standards and legislation that we work for in access in broadcast TV are continuing here with your efforts in getting hundreds and thousands of videos on YouTube broadcast with closed captions . So today, I am proud to premiere the pilot episode of a show that I produced which I hope will become a series either on network or Web, called "My Deaf Family." And the show chronicles a family from right
Fine. That's okay. That's all right. If TLC won't have me, I figure I'll do it my words and using Ms. Palin's words, I'm going to go rogue and broadcast it on YouTube, where I can call the shots and where I can be guaranteed that the show will be broadcast with captions .

When they first came out, it took a little bit of getting used to and adjustment to know who was talking and to be able to understand. But then, eventually, they made adjustments so that they had one person speaking on one side of the screen and one person on the other side with the captions . It's just a matter of time. It's -- I wouldn't like it if they put two different colors on there, as they do in some countries with captions . I think it's too confusing.
You know, I've been here -- starting as a young person and even now, I've seen many challenges and seen how things have changed over the years with captions on YouTube now. And with your presentation today, I'm wondering if you want to see more captions for Deaf people. Like, in the future, in ten or so years from now, what is it that you're looking for and ways that we can help Deaf people more?
