That's not the right words.

It's the age of Aquarius.

This is my friend Rikki.

She's deaf and she makes videos - YouTube
videos - for the deaf and hard of hearing.

Rikki is a strong advocate for captions for
YouTube videos - you know, those words that
14

01:08
appear at the bottom of the screen when you
press that little CC button.
15

01:12
We write the captions for our videos in English,
but if we didn't, the computer would generate
16

01:19
them and the problem with that is they're
often wrong.
17

It's what it says: The age of asparagus.
18

It's not just the deaf and hard of hearing
who need captions.

01:31
So do people learning another language.

Captions give them support so they can understand
more.
21
94990

01:38
And captions are great for video makers like
us as well because they help bring us more
22
98880

viewers and subscribers.
23

If you want to help Rikki make her videos
available to more people, and if you want
26

to help us teach the world English, there's
something you can do.

02:05
We upload English captions and time them.
29

So, it's a matter of going through them and
translating each line.
