Monolingual volunteers can help spread the ideas in TEDx talks by transcribing them! 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, are indexed on search engines like Google, and are able to be translated by TED Translators. Volunteer transcribers should be fluent in the transcription language.
For more information about being a transcriber, go to https://www.ted.com/participate/translate/transcribe, and be sure to apply at https://t9n.herokuapp.com/applications/new before Super Service Saturday. Before beginning the application, make sure to read TED's guidelines and watch the Getting Started video.
