Want an example of best practices for video captioning? Check out the School of Public Health’s videos on YouTube — 100 percent of the school’s videos are captioned, and they don’t use YouTube’s automated captioning service, which is not accurate enough for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, and can be confusing to those whose first language is not English.
