Description:

Universal Subtitles is a software project and online community that's building the world's simplest subtitling tool. Subtitles and captions are crucial for translation, accessibility and search. But until now, there's been no easy open resource for subtitling -- locking online video behind language barriers and obstacles for the hearing and vision impaired.

Created by Miro and the Participatory Culture Foundation and supported by Mozilla Drumbeat, Universal Subtitles is a simple subtitling tool anyone can use. It includes a widget and user-friendly interface for adding captions to any video on almost any site, without the hassle of re-uploading.

It draws on contributors around the world to make captioning and translating video free, fun and open to all. It shares content across languages and cultures, and ensures those with disabilities can fully experience all the web has to offer.
