Educational Videos That Are Accessible and Bilingual

DCMP has many videos available in both English and Spanish. These videos are made accessible with high-quality captions and audio description for both languages. One special feature of our video player is the ability to make these videos bilingual. For example, a viewer may choose to play a video with English captions and Spanish audio description, and vice-versa. This may be useful for some students learning a second language, or who are bilingual but more proficient in one language. From about collaborators, captioning, description, spanish

LiL BADIE Contest

“Working on thinking critically about audio descriptions for this program has built Mae’s confidence. She has more to contribute when peers are talking about shows, YouTube, social media, and film, as she can now very clearly articulate access issues and why she likes some shows better or doesn’t know about others that may be very popular. Very cool! Thank you all, again.” – Katie Lane-Karnas, teacher and mother of Mae Lane-Karnas, 2023 BADIE Grand Prize Winner From about listening-is-learning, description

¿Como Hacer Para Que Mis Programas Sean Subtitulados?

La inserción de “caption” o subtítulos ocultos es el proceso por el cual se convierte el contenido de audio de un programa de televisión, un Webcast, una película, un video, CD-ROM, DVD, un evento en vivo y en directo o cualquier otro tipo de producción a texto, y se hace que éste a su vez aparezca en una pantalla o monitor. Dicho texto incluye la identificación de los hablantes, efectos de sonido y descripción de la música. En esencia, el “caption” o subtítulo oculto se basa no solo en lo que se dice, sino también en lo que se comunica. Es decir, no es una mera transcripción de texto. about dcmp, captioning, description, spanish
