My name's Aleli Alcala and I'm here to represent Universal Subtitles
We realized that video was fast becoming the most proliferate content on the internet
It delivers content like education, politics, health
and because of language barriers, or if someone was deaf or hard of hearing,
they would be excluded from participating in the world they live in
How can we ensure that each and every one was subtitled and captioned?
We looked at Wikipedia and how the power of volunteers enabled that almost impossible task to happen
And so we created the technology that combines the power of volunteers with the power of the internet
So that each and every one of us can participate
in making sure that every video on the web is subtitled and captioned
The video can live anywhere and you can pull it into Universal Subtitles
subtitle it, and upload it back to where it lived before
There's an 8 year old little boy who wants so badly
to share a video with his grandmother, who does not speak English
So he subtitles the video into Spanish so that it can then be shared with his grandmother
And that's the power of this type of technology
Our dream, our vision, and our passion is that every video on the web is subtitled and captioned
which would allow all of us to participate fully in the world we live in
