We are very, very excited to announce that @CriticalRole is taking up the mantle of closed captions for their flagship show. There's no way we can thank properly all of the volunteers that have helped us create a more inclusive community for the past 3 years. We love you. <3

Great news for caption-using Critters! #accessibility #CriticalRole

For people going to watch the premiere of Critical Role Campaign 3 in theaters captions will be available on individual devices. Major props to our caption team for putting in extra effort to turn around captions on an extra-short timeline!

[Critical Role CC Updates @CRTranscript]

Because campaign 3 episodes will be prerecorded, they'll premiere on Thursdays with complete edited closed captions! #CriticalRole #accessibility

@catchantwatts @CriticalRole Yes, @CriticalRole hires out closed captions now, but up until C2E53 the captions were done by amazing, fantastic, talented critter volunteers who were passionate about making sure EVERYONE could enjoy the show. <3

@hvilsvgvn555 What episode and on what platform?

[Critical Role CC Updates @CRTranscript]

Tonight's episode of @CriticalRole will be aired live with closed captions! They're synced better on YouTube than Twitch, so watch on YT and chat in Twitch! #criticalrole #accessibility #closedcaptions #dnd

[Critical Role CC Updates @CRTranscript]

Tonight's YouTube and Twitch livestreams are fully closed captioned! Pandemic perecording and quick work by the @CriticalRole CC team made it happen. Until the return of live broadcasts, this will be the goal! #CriticalRole #accessibility #dnd #closedcaptions

[Critical Role CC Updates @CRTranscript]

@keyIeth @sil We are working on The Search for Grog as we get time amidst the regular episodes of CR. We'll announce when they've been updated!

[Critical Role CC Updates @CRTranscript]

As @CriticalRole returns this week (yay!) I've made a searchable transcript archive for all of campaigns 1&2! Wanna see exactly when @LauraBaileyVO mentions cinnamon pastries, or @VoiceOfOBrien says "diplomatic immunity"?

Might help @CritRoleStats too...

[Critical Role CC Updates @CRTranscript]

Because this episode was prerecorded, the YouTube video has been published with complete, edited closed captions! #CriticalRole #accessibility #closedcaptions

@shandravdeg @sil @CriticalRole @LauraBaileyVO @VoiceOfOBrien @CritRoleStats @SurenaXMarie Hi Shandra - unfortunately no. It's a singular error and not something we can revise an entire file for. Examples of what we'd consider changing are focused on the efficacy of the captions: major timesetting errors, bad caption placement, garbled characters, etc.

[Critical Role CC Updates @CRTranscript]

@sil @shandravdeg @CriticalRole @LauraBaileyVO @VoiceOfOBrien @CritRoleStats @SurenaXMarie With the sheer amount of content (700+ hours) volunteers created and our small team edited, there are bound to be mistakes. The captioning process is very laborious so unfortunately we don't change files for small errors. Perhaps there's a way to mark a misspelling in your tool?

[Critical Role CC Updates @CRTranscript]

@sil @CriticalRole @LauraBaileyVO @VoiceOfOBrien @CritRoleStats Hi Stuart, this looks amazing! Do you know if the website is accessible to those using assistive technology? We'd love to signal boost. <3

[Critical Role CC Updates @CRTranscript]

@KettieCorn @CriticalRole We don't have any info on that just yet!

[Critical Role CC Updates @CRTranscript]

UPDATE: @CriticalRole has now captioned all existing episodes of campaigns 1 & 2, up to campaign 2, episode 99! The captioning and editing process continues to be refined as they go, and they're continually looking for ways to reduce turnaround time. #CriticalRole #accessibility

[Critical Role CC Updates @CRTranscript]

@YoursDearlyEve As of right now the other content that's captioned by Critical Role are: Mini Primetime & UnDeadwood; one-shots with edited CC are: Crash Pandas, Darrington Brigade, Doom, Cinderbrush, Search for Bob, the Colbert Red Nose Day special, and Dalen's Closet.
