Hi All,
I’m a deaf person, and I’ve been watching WWII in realtime and the timeghost series on youtube. Occasionally I notice missing captions and usually make a comment about it on YouTube. Sometimes it gets addressed, but usually it doesn’t. I typically don’t watch the ones that don’t have captions as autocaptions are pretty awful for deaf people, even though they might seem mostly fine to hearing people.
I noticed during the Pearl Harbor series released today, that English captions only exist on about half the videos. It seems strange that the captions are only released on some of the videos, even though they were all released on the same day - I was really excited for the series only to be able to watch about half of them. Given that I rarely get responses on my YouTube comments, I figured I’d ask here about the missing captions.
I get that sometimes things get missed, but I really wish there were a better way to flag the missing captions to get fixed in a timely fashion, as I assume that TimeGhost already put effort into creating them, they just forgot to upload them. I’d really like that effort to not go to waste.
