The document discusses adding accurate captions to YouTube videos. It notes that while YouTube has over 10 billion videos, only 13% are captioned. However, the platform's automatic captions are often inaccurate and do not provide true accessibility. The document introduces a free, open-source tool called "No More Craptions" that allows users to easily edit and correct YouTube captions. It walks through the simple process of accessing a video's URL, editing the existing subtitles file, uploading the corrected file, and publishing to improve accessibility and representation on YouTube.

● How many videos are on Youtube

How many are captioned? All potential but....
Problem
The YouTube Captioning is of very little value
“no real accessibility benefits to end users
who rely on good quality and accurate
captioning to watch video content”

● High numbers of presenters who are non native
English speakers
● Common problem of videos with poor audio
quality
● High percentage of captioning errors which
can be deemed slanderous and a poor
representation to the organization
