Vines are popular here on tumblr. I would like to appeal to those of you who can hear and who would be willing to do so, to please caption/transcribe the vines/mini videos you might reblog, so that those of us who are deaf/hard of hearing may also understand and enjoy the vines/short videos.
I can’t tell you how very frustrating it is to not be able to understand the usually quickly spoken skits people act out in vines. If some of you could please take the time to do this, (it would only take you a few short minutes) it would make the tumblr experience much more enjoyable for myself and most likely for others who have difficulty hearing too.
All you’d have to do is listen to the vine/video, and type in quotation marks/italics, what is being said in the video on the post and reblog. That’s it!! You could also possibly tag it with ‘captioned’ so that myself and others can find captioned videos/vines via this tag. (Or even type the captions in the tags if you would like).
I’d absolutely appreciate it!
Thank you!!(Feel free to share to ask your followers to help out too)
While this isn’t going to solve the problem of a lot of content being inaccessible, there are some sites/blogs that transcribe content or share accessible content.
Captioned Web TV shares videos that have captions available. Lybio also has a large collection of transcripts for videos. I run a transcripts blog, and a lot of tv shows have transcripts available if you try googling them (usually older ones).
I know it seems like a lot of work and I won’t pretend it isn’t tiring sometimes, but please consider doing transcripts (also image descriptions) if you can. And if you can’t, at least don’t be that person who deletes descriptions and transcripts/goes out of their way to avoid reblogging accessible versions of posts.

People who can hear, please do me one little favour.
