[Chapter-delegates] OECD seeking YouTube video: "How can the Internet make the world a better pla ce?"

[Arnoud van Wijk]

Well that is surely a great site!

I am going to study this in more detail and contact Mr Smolens.

And it also illustrates the benefit of subtitling. You do not need to be
Deaf or Hard of Hearing to benefit from the subs here.

Imagine this on YouTube (I give YouTube as example, since they are the
biggest).

Use it also to add song text to video clips with pop artists. Or to
translate the English documentary into Spanish.
Not only people with a hearing disability benefit here, but other people as
well!

Thanks

Arnoud
