Perfecting the perpendicular pickup -- just the video, ma'am

-
I uploaded my latest video to YouTube, and I requested that YouTube create a machine-transcribed caption file for it. Wow, pretty amusing. As in all machine transcriptions, it was pretty weird. Could have something to do with my mumbling, maybe.
Anyway, I downloaded edited that file and uploaded the real thing. I am all about the closed-captioning. I love me some deaf knitters, and knitters who don't speak English as a first language will probably have better luck understanding the captions than my slurry words.
Does anybody use an on-line service for this? I remember reading something about Google making it easier to caption their videos, but my Google-fu is not working for this.

  1. Hi,

    I try your method and put result on my Ravelry page :

    I think it could be useful for socks' heel but need a try to see if the small line of "holes" is not a problem.

  2. I will try something else to make the technique clearer. Maybe diagrams would work better. Thank you for trying it and posting your results.
