Free Closed Captions for COVID-19 Video Content
More than 4% of the world’s population are deaf or hearing impaired. The highest proportion of which are the elderly.
COVID-19 is proving to be a major global disaster. To reduce the spread of this aggressive virus, almost every country has deployed measures to protect its citizens, such as lock-downs. In these times, it is important to provide strong communication protocols for governments, businesses and individuals to ensure that all citizens receive the correct and up-to-date information.
Information is distributed and consumed across many platforms and mediums. One of the most used ways is the online video format. Over 40% of all online information is being watched via video media to keep the people informed.
However, almost 5% of the population is either deaf or hard of hearing, making most video content inaccessible for them. Since the elderly in this crisis are the most vulnerable, we need to make extra efforts to get them accurate information that can be the difference between life and death.
For all COVID-19 related videos, Effect.AI’s newest product, Effect Translate is now offering free closed captions. Closed captions are high-quality video content subtitles that are easy to follow for deaf people and those who watch the video without sound.
This time of great adversity is also a time of great responsibility. Effect Translate encourages any and all organizations globally to reach out to us today to make sure all video content is accessible to everyone, especially the elderly. We produce closed captions and subtitle translations in several languages and work with most video formats. Fill in THIS FORM now to get started.
We provide captions and subtitle translations in the following languages:
English, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, German, French and Georgian.
