Dive in: Subtitle a video before 2011

If you’re excited about the potential of open subtitles and translations on the web, then it’s time to get your hands dirty! All you have to do is find a video you’re passionate about and subtitle it (we now support Vimeo, so that’s no excuse for not getting involved). If you’ve never created subtitles before,…

One super important new feature that I forgot in my last post: the Universal Subtitles site is now ready to be translated! If you speak a language other than English and can help us translate it, join a translation team (or several). We expect that many users of the Universal Subtitles service will not speak…

A Note on Accessibility

We think this is so important, we added a permanent page to the site. In the near future, we’ll go into more detail about why accessibility matters so much to us (and for the internet), but for the moment I’ve copied the text from the page here: Accessibility is the primary motivator behind Universal Subtitles….
