I am guessing none of those are really accessible, sad.

RyanB: I’ll link them in later tonight. But, by being accessible, you mean have subtitles or text records? Probably not, sorry. Doing that is expensive.

“Doing that is expensive.”
Not doing that is human-unfriendly and seems to call for someone to finding/creating a less-expensive way of doing it and then sharing the technology. It shouldn’t be dismissed. Not meeting the spirit, if not the letter, of the ADA rules that Web designers struggle with to achieve, seems to make me think you’re saying that video folks are a class apart, above, or separate.
Say it ain’t so, Robert.

It *is* important, of course. Just keep in mind most of these folks, myself included, are expending a lot of time and energy to make video for little or no financial gain. So until someone provides us with a free and easy solution, it’s sort of like expecting an indie zine publisher to provide translations into 17 languages.
Maybe we could find volunteers to make their favorite videoblogs more accessible?
In any case, thanks for posting the list Robert and congrats to everyone nominated and involved with the Vloggies. It was a blast!

Podzinger makes audio and video searchable. For example, here’s a video search on ‘copyright’. Their software attempts to transcribe audio content and make it searchable. So far, I don’t think they actually provide that transcript but it’s a step in the right direction.

Sue/RyanB: Yes, translation and other acceibility issues are very important, as Chuck said, but very expensive. Ideally, we would all be able to communicate with each other but the technology is not quite there yet. And cheaper isn’t a good solution, at least for most of us. Free is a good solution.
But you raise some good issues. I encourage you to look into this further and see if someone is doing something viable that we can tap into. Thanks!

Videos being transcribed/close-captioned/etc is expensive, that doesn’t mean it has to remain expensive.
Reading Robert’s reply, the first thought that came into my mind was Mechanical Turk. castingwords.com already does this for podcasts.
It’s be remarkably trivial to use MTurk to do something similar for video in an automated way.
Robert, maybe this is something PodTech should look into? Could be one of the things that sets you apart.

My video’s are accessible in one sense of the word, Thanks to YouTube, BlipTV, Google, Metacafe and now BRIGHTCOVE. While they are not multilingual, they need no language as they are purely for the Eye’s. You watch them and you either like them or you don’t and then go about your day. My VLOG “My Slice of Life” appears 6th in the 01 VLOG Charts, but I don’t expect any awards anytime soon or to be complying with ANY LAWS.
