DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - September 21, 2018
-- advice for retailers
a captioning consultant has this advice for
retailers - do not depend on self-captioning
software to do captions; mistakes with software
will turn off deaf (and hearing) customers.
-- India law allows deaf to drive; does not allow them!
India allows the deaf to drive; yet separate India
states still do not allow the deaf to drive. This has
led to a clash between the government and the states
of India.
-- a surprise Amazon announcement
A while ago DeafDigest cast doubt on Alexa helping
the deaf because of lack of captions. Now this -
Amazon has surprised us with this "Alexa Captions."
Great for the deaf? Well, if captions are
self-automated, then we may see too many captioning
errors.
