training fail

[yarram]

I asked work for some training on new software we're rolling out. They send me a web link and a login. I click the link, sign in, and lo and behold, all the training is a bunch of videos. Presented by people with various European accents. There are no subtitles / captions available.

This renders the trainings inaccessible, as I am HoH.

(Fortunately I can understand enough that the PowerPoint slides are useful, but still annoying in the extreme.)

Argh I hate this, also cos it's SLOW and boring. I can read several thousand words in the time it takes to watch a 10 minute video (my reading speed is 400-700 words per minute). Videos are great as an AND but they should have written equivalents with pictures for those of us unable to access them.
