Why: As an attendee, I want to learn about adding and creating awesome captions.
Title: Much Ado About Captioning Videos
Synopsis: Adding captions to videos is only half of the magic formula for amazing captions. The other half is quality. With more captioning DIY apps coming out, there's a lot of bad quality captions out there. In less than an hour, you'll learn why quality matters in captioning and how to create awesome captions from someone who depends on them.
Bio: Born hearing-free aka Deaf, Meryl depends on captions to follow the video, she has seen the best and worst of captions. Fast forward years later, her freelance digital marketing career has come in handy in educating people about captioning videos and captioning them well. Passionate about captions and accessibility, she's a frequent speaker and writer on the topic that people refer to her as the caption queen.
