Thank you, I didn't realize this existed.

I have accessibility needs (screen reader user) that make subtitles less fun to use than they would otherwise be, and I speak no German, so those interpreted recordings would be really great for me.

I assume you don't publish on Youtube? That's how I usually consume CCC content, mostly due to YT's recommendation algorithms and excellent cross-device "continue playback" support.

The CCC is a big believer in self hosting there is a live streaming platform during the event and media.ccc.de afterwards.

My preferred YouTube client (NewPipe) even includes a CCC backend too.

I'm glad we can be of service to you! There used to be a live captioning team writing subtitles but I think that effort stopped. I heard people were looking at AI-based captioning but I have not kept up with the plans for this year.

I know in previous years talks were published on YT, I assume this will still be the case this year. Normally the VOC team does miracles to publish incredibly quickly too, so you should be able to have the recorded talks online same-day.

Until very recently YouTube did not support multiple user-choice audio tracks on a video, so they would have needed to be uploaded separately.

Maybe it will change this year, though!
