Prominent "subtitles" button for YouTube #4

Open nikomatsakis opened 7 years ago

nikomatsakis commented 7 years ago

At least in my spot checks, the auto-generated subtitles on the YouTube videos are pretty decent. It'd be nice to have a prominent button for turning them on rather than forcing people to dig through the YouTube controls.

I am not sure if you really have to "dig" through movie controls - the CC button (in my opinion) is quite easily accessible, and most people that do use CC (like me from time to time) know very well how to find it (and are used to find it there).

I think it is enough to just draw attention to the fact generated subtitles are available in the beginning of the video. A note on the first slide, perhaps with the icon of the button, should suffice.

I'm not inclined to re-record the videos -- that's a lot of work -- but I am convinced this issue is not especially important. Perhaps in future videos I'll include some note (or if I re-record for another reason).

What about adding a YT annotation to existing videos? That's who it's usually done when creators need to fix a typo or add small piece of text explaining things they forgot to include in the video already. And people who disable annotations also know how to enable CC so that's okay.
