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.
Yes I do have an idea. I now chair the the Connecticut based Modern Deaf Communication non-profit that is dedicated to teaching deaf people to improve their lives using English as communication.

Can someone try guessing the percentile of bloggers in the deaf community?
