But as a bare minimum, every video will continue to have human-checked, clear, subtitles, with speaker ID where necessary. (30% of my viewers now use captions; if you're a video creator and not making the effort, you're losing some of your audience!) ⌘ [Read more](https://twitter.com/tomscott/status/1464208499324428294) 2021-11-26T12:23:41Z **I have looked into audio description**
I have looked into audio description, which YouTube has rolled out to a few channels, but it's sadly too expensive, and would involve either re-editing videos or changing style to give enough space for description. I'm not ruling it out, it's just sadly not practical right now. ⌘ [Read more](https://twitter.com/tomscott/status/1464208235662032900) 2021-11-26T12:23:19Z **It's always tricky to balance accessibility**
It's always tricky to balance accessibility, cost, time, and workflow. On the main channel, most videos will have captions in the regular "YouTube style", as there's usually only one voice at a time and very little crosstalk. But for the second channel, clear speaker ID is vital. ⌘ [Read more](https://twitter.com/tomscott/status/1464208141617451008) 2021-11-26T12:23:01Z **All the videos on the second channel now have upgraded**
All the videos on the second channel now have upgraded, UK broadcast standard, captions from [@Caption\_Plus](https://twitter.com/Caption_Plus), including placement hints and color to indicate speaker.
