Caption and Description Demos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I have a Dream<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We had a great time using Capscribe to caption the historic Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, which took place at the historic March on Washington, August 28, 1963. The speech is at once historic and so timely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Captions are on by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big Buck Bunny Described<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We used CapScribe’s synthetic speech description tool to describe a two minute excerpt of the open source 3D animation, Big Buck Bunny<\/a>, created and copyright by the Blender Foundation<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

There is no spoken dialog in this video, just the added AD audio which has been combined with the original soundtrack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’d like, you can read the described audio as you listen to the video. Just select ‘Script for AD Narration’ from the video player’s Subtitles menu to toggle this feature on or off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sintel Captioned and Described<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a one minute captioned and described excerpt of the open source 3D animation. Like Big Buck Bunny, the Sintel<\/a> video is created and copyright by the Blender Foundation<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Captions are on by default. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To read the described video script along with the captions while watching the video, select ‘Script for AD Narration’ from the video player’s Subtitles menu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re curious, you can alternately select “AD Narration with Mock-up Tags” from the Subtitles menu. The mock-up tags are inline commands that alter the way synthetic speech is spoken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
