awesome-list-of-captioned-courses

Online professional courses that are captioned and/or subtitled. And why awesome? 'Cause it just is.

Any courses that have captions/subtitles, auto-captions, and/or transcripts are listed on Airtable spreadsheet

Motivation

To make it easier to track courses that are captioned/subtitled

How to Use

  • Click on the magnify glass icon to search for a keyword that you're interested in

    • Auto-Captions
    • Transcripts
    • Pricing Model

Explaining How Spreadsheet Categories Works

  1. Platform/Course - URL
    • Any platform that offers courses, which all or majority of them are captioned/subtitled e.g. Lynda, Treehouse, Pluralsight, etc.
    • Any course that is captioned/subtitled, which is usually an one-off course or created independently outside of its hosted platform, e.g. Udemy or YouTube
  2. Topics - Up to Top Five Most Known For
    • What is the platform/course known for, both broadly (e.g. Web Development, Technology) and/or narrowly (e.g. HTML, CSS, JavaScript) or more specifically (e.g. ReactJS, NodeJS)
  3. Captions/Subtitles
    • Captions: Text with descriptions for background noises and audio cues
    • Subtitles: Text without descriptions for background noises and audio cues
  4. Auto-Captions
    • Created by speech recognition technology and since it's generated by machine learning algorithms, quality can wildly vary
  5. Transcripts
    • Occassionally, courses offer transcripts for off-line readings or do not offer captions/subtitles/auto-captions for their videos
  6. Pricing Model
    • Free: Entirely free without any purchase needed
    • Free Course/Lesson(s): Some are free while others are not
    • Free Tier: Usually, in conjunction with Paid Tier
    • Free Trial: Free for short period of time
    • Paid: An one-time purchase
    • Paid Tier: Usually, a monthly or yearly subscription
  7. Notes
    • Examples that may help those searching in the spreadsheet: Has a niche course that may be of interest like "Development for Amazon Alexa," the quality of auto-captions, unusual pricing model, etc.

The List of Not-So-Awesome (They should do better) Platform/Courses

Sometimes, we come across platforms/courses that aren't captioned/subtitled or seemingly, making no or little progress to make these accessible

  • Skillshare: Update (03/02/2019): "Captions are available on all classes with the “Skillshare Original” or “Staff Pick” badges on Skillshare.com. These captions will only show on skillshare.com and the Android app, but not yet on the iOS app. We do hope to expand to more languages, and add captions to all Skillshare classes on all platforms, so stay tuned for updates!" - Source: Skillshare Help Center: Which classes have captions?
