So very true and necessary. All online content should have accurate captions, not autocraptions
I need to get something off my chest: if you are a major organization who is now hosting virtual instead on in person events and posting them on YouTube you NEED to put actual captions on those videos (not merely use the automatic Craptions).

Interesting #accessibility fact about #Zoom from @mycleartext: its API permits speech-to-text reporters (stenographers and palantypists) to hook up caption streaming software so subtitles can display on a call. No excuse for online meetings not to include d/Deaf users

Following my question yesterday I have tabled an #EDM calling on the Government to introduce a universal basic income to help freelancers and the self-employed during the #CoronavirusOutbreak. Please ask your MP to sign: edm.parliament.uk/early-day-…

It sometime does! 🤯Thanks so much, and yes we really appreciate it when people speak clearly and slowly 😊 @loupepPalantype & @katyryder doing a fab job as usual
Great support from @GRTcaptioning at @DevOpsDaysLDN who are all working very hard to make this event as accessible as it can be. It makes me realise why taking clearly and slowly is so clear. How steam isn't rising from their talented brains from the cognitive load I'm not sure!
