For those of you that are a little hard of hearing or have no sound card, Youtube have done the decent thing and launched auto captioning on all new English language videos using the Google automated speech-recognition software. This means we can all read instead of listen if we wish.

Figures show that by the year 2015 there may be around 700 million people who have hearing difficulties, and as video is becoming more and more widespread especially via the top video site on Earth – Its good to see Google taking a stand for all hard of hearing people. The translation technology from Google also allows the captions to be translated into most languages of the world.
