Scholarship #3:

“Auto-Captions in Video Translation: Helpful or Hurtful?

Auto Captions in Video Translation: Helpful or Hurtful?- Scholarship

Have you ever watched a YouTube video with auto-captions and the words were so off from the actual audio?

Even though they are inconsistent, automated captions can also be really beneficial to certain people, such as the deaf community.

So, are they helpful or hurtful? You decide! 

Here are some tips to writing a successful article:

  • relevant statistics (but not too many)
  • engaging images or videos
  • first-hand experience & opinions (we love a personal touch!)
  • strong visual presentation.

How to Submit an Entry

 
Write a 300-500 word blog post in English on this topic. You can use a different title but stay on topic and make it clear that your entry is for scholarship #2. Make sure you include and incorporate the hyper-text link ‘ video translation‘ in your article. Please use platforms such as Wix, WordPress, and Canva (which offer free domains); social media (Facebook, Instagram, Reddit etc.) will NOT be accepted as they do not offer separate domains.
