An alternative idea for DeafBlind on ASL Vlogs...
Translated:
Greetings! I would like to suggest another alternative for those who are deaf-blind who expressed their feelings about the need for translation on vlogs by those who use American Sign Language. I want to spell out some pointers for deaf-blind people so they could become proactive with the idea and to take it in serious consideration. Deaf-blind people could then get together and discuss their options. My focus is to have the deaf-blind people get together in a committee with no outside participation by deaf or hearing people. Only the deaf-blind people can make their own decisions. It is my suggestion that the deaf-blind people establish their own non-profit organization with their own board. The board will consist of only deaf-blind people and not deaf or hearing people. Two things are necessary to establish an organization: applying for an EIN ID number and a 501-c-3 non-profit status. When you have done so, you can contact us with a petition to come to an agreement to have captions in vlogs that could be a benefit for deaf-blind people out there. I think that this is a great idea. Have you noticed movies and television shows were brought up by actors, writers, directors, and other related employees. They have certain budgets for their films. Does any of those employees work on subtitles or translation process at some extent? After a movie is filmed and edited, the studios hired professionals to work on the subtitles. The work is prepared so deaf people could watch and enjoy the show. I think it is important for the deaf-blind people to have money to make services accessible for them. In this way we could continue to produce more vlogs. The deaf-blind people, with money on hand, could request professional transcribers to help with the subtitles and still get involved with us. I think that will put all of us forward. I promise you when you set up your committee in creating a non-profit organization with a 501-c-3 status, we Aslans will contribute with money. It is a tax write-off. We always want to support you. I hope you can consider and discuss this avenue. It is imperative that bylaws and a board will be created. Vlogs can be subtitled by a paid transcriber. You can come in agreement with us vloggers to allow you to have the vlogs subtitled for the sole purpose to serve deaf-blind people only. If certain hearing people want this service, they will have to pay directly to you to make this accessible. It is to your discretion whether to accept such requests. Again, it is important to have funds necessary to meet your needs. In this way, we vloggers can continue to focus on creating vlogs and you can continue to enjoy watching the vlogs without any barriers. Thank you.
