Thumbs down There are many benefits to providing closed captions for your videos.

That is no excuse. All of my videos are ASL with English audio and captions English and Spanish. I speak four languages: English, Spanish, Arabic, and ASL. If I want to caption my videos in French, and I don't speak French, then I must consult someone who is blingual in French and one of the languages I speak. (BTW, I would like to caption my videos in French.)

So, since she doesn't speak English well, she should contact an interpreter to intepret ASL to English. She can easily do this by calling VRS and asking the interpreter to leave a voicemail. Once she leaves the voicemail, she can check it with IP-Relay and the operator will type everything the interpreter said. After that, all she needs to do is time the words to the correct signs, and that's easy with the correct software.

So, NO, we don't have to caption our Vlogs, if they won't caption theirs!
Yes, you do have to caption your VLogs! If you refuse to caption, when why should people who are Hearing caption? You must be the change you wish to see in the world!! You must raise the bar and pose the challenge to people who are Hearing. My parents raised me Hearing, but they encouraged me to study neither Spanish nor ASL, and look at me now! Plus, many people who are Hearing do caption their videos. Take a look.

Also, there are many benefits to providing closed captions for your videos. I will post an ASL video with audio and captions of the benefits soon.
