Text transcripts for videos

[darthvadur]

To make our site more accessible to the deafblind community we should consider publishing transcripts for audio- video. Text transcripts are the only way this audience can access the video content using a refreshable braille device. This can be designed as a collapsible section with a link underneath the video/audio to expand the transcript. Or maybe a modal window. We could start with Kumho swift.

Here is the transcript. I need to review it and maybe do a little editing.

Kevin Alkema (00:04): Up to 40% of our garbage that is disposed of is actually food waste. We've had conversations with universities, restaurants, fruit and vegetable suppliers, grocery store chains, a lot of times their food waste may end up in a dumpster and ultimately end up in landfills that produces greenhouse gases. We offer a solution that can divert that food waste from the landfill. It's pollutant free. It's odor free.

Pratap Sandhu (00:34): The benefits of having no odor is that it does not generate any methane gas as well as does not attract any pests. You're able to continuously feed it. Any type of food waste, any type of organic material, in about 24 hours, you're able to decrease the amount of food waste from anywhere from 70 to 95%, and you're left with a soil amendment, which you can put back into the earth.

Narrator (00:55): Kumho Swift's composting buyer reactors are the product of 20 years of R&D. And all that research translates into real benefits for our clients and for the environment. Our proprietary mix of enzymes and bacteria decompose and aerobically ferment organic waste, turning it into a soil amendment that can be used in agriculture.

Narrator (01:17): The heat from the fermentation process supplements an internal heater and together they evaporate all water content. This means that our units produce no waste water and no leachate, and that the compost they produce is dry and light. Organic waste is reduced by more than 70% in weight and 98% in volume.

Narrator (01:36): The natural decomposition and fermentation processes are accelerated by stirrers designed to prevent breakage that can result from the introduction of foreign materials. Not only does this mean we can offer a three-year warranty, it also means that organic waste is processed in just 24 hours.

Narrator (01:53): What's more, all gases produced by decomposition pass through a patented deodorization device, which uses microorganisms to break down any noxious gases. As a result, the units produce no odor, they don't attract pests and can be kept close to other facilities.

Narrator (02:11): As an added security feature, the units are tamper-proof. They are completely sealed closed systems that can only be opened with a password. This prevents both human and rodent access.

Narrator (02:24): The units come in seven sizes. The smallest has a footprint of three square meters, draws 0.9 kilowatts per hour, and can process up to 70 kilograms of organic waste a day. While the largest has a footprint of 14 square meters, draws 5.7 kilowatts per hour and processes 700 kilograms of organic waste a day. This makes them suitable for a range of industries and scales, from restaurants and grocery stores, to commercial entities that deal with waste, to farms and wineries, to municipal waste treatment facilities.

Narrator (02:58): For all of our clients, the benefits are the same. Organic waste is turned into a light dry soil amendment with agricultural value in just 24 hours without creating any secondary pollutants. This reduces the cost associated with waste disposal and contributes to a greener environment in their communities.

Amardeep Garcha (03:17): We felt compelled to bring this to North America because we knew that it would significantly reduce the carbon footprint. Customers are attracted to that, and they want to make decisions that are aligned with their values.

Kevin Alkema (03:32): I have four children and three grandchildren, and you want to see that you're leaving the world a slightly better place than you found it. And so if I can be involved in something like that, that changes regulation and changes society norms in terms of our habits with food and waste, I find that meaningful work.
