Richard, you obviously have no idea what resources Deaf people have available, these days. Deaf people use VRS to leave themselves a voicemail. When they reach their voicemail, they can sign whatever they want, and the interpreter will voice it. When they're done, they can hang up and use IP-Relay to retrieve their voicemail, and the operator will type everything the interpreter voiced, in English. The Deaf person can then copy and paste the written English, into the captioning program and time it to the signs. Deaf people do not have to have good English writing skills, in order to caption their VLogs.
