Robin Good: Amara / Universal Subtitles is a free web-based service that allows anyone to easily sub-title and add captions to any video.
As long as you have a URL of a published video, Amara makes it very easy to caption it. The clip may be on a video sharing site or embedded in custom video player and Amara can still get to it.
Amara is made up of three main parts:
a) A subtitle creation and viewing tool (aka the widget)
b) A collaborative subtitling website
c) An open protocol for subtitle search/delivery
All tools inside Amara are free and open-source.
Supported video players and video sharing sites include:
Flowplayer JW Player Firefox native player Chrome native player
YouTube Vimeo Dailymotion blip.tv

Es cierto que los adolescentes se desenvuelven con soltura en el medio digital (Facebook, Youtube, Google, etc. ya forman parte de su vocabulario habitual), pero esto no quiere decir que su conocimiento sobre todas las herramientas y posibilidades que ofrece el medio sea extenso y sólido.
