For some time I have encouraged my Deaf and Hard of Hearing colleagues to look to dotsub.com to access as many of the TED talks as have been posted. Now- I’ll be able to hold TED presentation viewing sessions at my office and all will be able to access the content- Deaf or not.

I can’t wait to wrap up this functionality into our upcoming iPhone volunteerism application: http://www.theExtraordinaries.org. Using the crowdsourcing model to expose the deep intellectual power of these TED talks into SEO-friendly and multi-language accessible format is a big net gain for social good.

Will it be possible to view more natural, lightly-edited version of the videos? A lot of the TED Talks I watch on this site jump so aggressively I actually feel a bit ill when I watch. Given that talks are typically quite short, it would be nice to be able to enjoy a talk in all its fullness, even with those pesky multi-second gaps where the speaker pauses for a breath and allows a thought to sink in. Thanks!

Sincerely,
-daniel

Many of us only need the original transcription from English to start to work on a translation.
Now we can share TEDTalks with our non english speaking friends and family.
Great news!

Me alegro saber que los pasos mas importantes para este proyecto habian sido dados, hay tanta gente con la que me gustaria compartir esto!!
