Apple’s iPad and YouTube’s Automated Captions: #FAIL

Filed under: Uncategorized — Amy @ 7:55 pm

All,

I went to Apple’s store and purchased a brand-new 16gb iPad! It is a beautifully designed device, visually appealing and easy to use.

I tweaked the settings, to make sure that closed captioning is on for all videos. Then I decided to view YouTube’s “My Deaf Family” and guess what?

There are NO automated captions available!

Watch the video demonstration below:

It may be the iPad’s OS system which prevented viewing automated captions from YouTube. Contact YouTube and Apple to fix this problem. This needs to be fixed ASAP!
