Thank you very much @Mart and @x1heavy! That is super helpful. The follow up question I have is if I do it for a few moments at the beginning - if I need to also do something to let the viewer know that the music continues with no speech after the caption disappears. I guess my concern is how...

I am working on captioning some YouTube videos and some of them only have instrumental music. For example, if I have a 2-minute video of gentle piano music (with no speech), then I would start it off with a caption of: [gentle piano music] My question is how long I should leave that on the...

I work in an organization that produces a number of books and videos (captioned). For some of those books and videos we translate them and make them available as ASL videos. I would love help from this community to help me better understand the value of translating a book or captioned movie...

I didn't explain very well why we produce our magazine in ASL- it is not because we feel that Deaf people can't read English, it is because many Deaf people prefer ASL and there are some Deaf people who don't understand English as well as ASL because it is a second language. Is that Audism...

Thanks for the questions Fuzzy- I work for a religious organization and have responsibilities for producing our materials in accessible formats. My involvement with the Deaf community is simply interactions with those who use the products we produce. Besides ASL (produced primarily by Deaf...

Magazine in ASL The ASL magazine is simply recorded video of the contents of the magazine in ASL. Perhaps I should have said we create a video fo the contents of the magazine.

Follow Up Hey everyone- Thanks for all the comments and the discussion. I appreciate your patience with my ignorance and realize that I certainly should have taken more time to introduce myself and jump in with a question. A couple of follow up items that I didn't express very well in my...

Sorry! I apologize for my comment- I am hearing and would appreciate feedback to help me understand. Let me explain a little more- I work in an organization where we provide ASL materials and we are trying to understand if we need to do everything in ASL or when written English is an...

I am trying to better understand the overall ability of people who are Deaf to read written English. I have heard that the average Deaf adult reads at a 3rd or 4th grade level, but am looking for some research or even anecdotal evidence that supports that (or not). Does anyone out there have...
