Transcribe

Monolingual volunteers can help spread the ideas in TEDx talks by transcribing them!

Why transcribe?

Transcribers create original-language subtitles for TEDx talks. Transcribed talks can reach a wider audience because they are...

  • accessible to Deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers
  • indexed on search engines like Google
  • able to be translated by TED Translators
