Examples of Sites That May Have Captioned Media
To search for captioned programs using university access to Films On Demand, navigate to the "Advanced Search" menu. Under "Advanced Filters, select "Show Only CC programs." You can also use "Advanced Filters" to search for programs that include interactive transcripts. Simply select "Show only programs that have interactive transcripts."
Check for subtitles in the control bar below the video. There will usually be an option for English. Select this. If the TED Talk is not captioned, there may be a transcript.
Not all sites using the TED name are directly affiliated with TED Talks, and may not have captioning available. Check to make sure you are using TED Talks directly from www.ted.com. Media through TEDx will likely not have quality captioning.
You can search for captioned versions of video content on YouTube by adding a comma and the letters "CC" to your search. For example, you would type “salmon migration, CC”. Note that using this type of search will automatically bring up the filters option below the search box. All videos displayed in the search results will have the “CC” (closed-captioned) symbol.
Note: The appearance of the “CC” symbol doesn’t always mean that the captions are usable. Always watch a few minutes of the video with captions on to make sure that the captions make sense. If they do not, you will need to find an alternate version with accurate captions.
