So I finished writing the #AudioDescription for episode one of the journey of Alan strange and I’m using cadet. It’s not open source, but it is screen reader accessible and I think it’s incredibly astonishing how there seems to be no screen reader accessible #Captioning/subtitle software out of all the ones I tried that were free. The ones that are open source require much more labeling than I’m willing to do in code. I found one called subtitle composer that would be perfect but their windows installer is broken so I had to use an older version. I use captioning software to make start an in markers, notes on what the description should be, and then exporting that into an SRT, then manually converting that SRT into a CSV. I have yet to find an accessible, screen reader friendly, captioning software that can do all of this in one app, including export to CSV format, work with screen readers and keyboard command, be able to remap keys, play media found on URLs. As of right now, Cadet is the only fully accessible/screen reader friendly Captioning/description creation software. This is an area where #OpenSource can really shine if they wanted to. If you do have any recommendations for software or tools, let me know! No AI recommendations though. I will always be better than AI, and it’s literally never enhanced my productivity whatsoever. With one python script, I can be more productive than any AI solution you will want to recommend me, I promise you! #Accessibility
