Why I Chose Ellen Over a Professional Interpreter
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 сер 2020
- We're taking you along with us through the process fixing Ryan's hernia, a health issue that has prevented him from going 100% in the past. Ryan and I wanted to show you what it's like for us as a Deaf and Hearing couple going into the doctors office. Does he have me interpret or request an interpreter from the hospital? These are things we have to consider. Thanks for sharing about your mental health in our previous vlog. I know many people are struggling with their mental health right now and it's great that we're talking about it! Love you! See you next week!

The captions for Java that pop up when Ellen asks questions make me laugh even if it’s a simple yes or no lol
Haha me too those are the best ❤️
LOL
Especially with the pop sound ❤️❤️
Can people teach dogs sign language?
They have real love, true love, I'm assuming that's why he chose her over a professional interpreter, I'm not even halfway into the video, but I'm ready to watch it all!!!💕
Hello Sign Duo! 🙂 Have you heard of *community captions being removed* soon?
I am appalled by this decision since I rely on this tool for my educational videos, but I find it much worst for the deaf people because I imagine subtitles are an essential element for them.
Let's be honest, not all UA-camrs take the time to make decent subtitles so why would UA-cam even think of removing this option???
I write you this comment because you guys create very inspiring content about deafness and maybe your message to UA-cam could go further than mine as a very small UA-camr.
Thanks in advance and keep up your good content!
(please like this comment if you are in favour of UA-cam keeping community captions available)
This is horrible. Why would youtube do this. Is there any type of petition that can be made so that this doesn’t happen
Google/UA-cam’s explanation is here: support.google.com/youtube/thread/61967856?hl=en
Getting them to change their mind is not going to happen. The best course of action, as I can see, is to ensure that all creators who could benefit need to ensure that at least 3 videos of theirs use community caption services (even if you open it up and ask someone you know to submit) in the 60 days prior to the Sept 28 end date - because that will qualify the creator for 6-months of human captioning services paid for by UA-cam as compensation.
Obviously auto-generated captions have a lot of problems. 1) they can’t handle any type of accent 2) they’re useless for words that are uncommon, technical, or in another language.
A further issue is that human edited captions, edited by people who don’t know the subject matter - particularly if it’s technical, historical, or borrows terms from other languages - are mostly just guessing. Few companies pay well enough on flat rate projects for captioners to verify highly specific technical terms - whereas a volunteer who’s interested in the subject already knows, or is happy to learn more by figuring it out.
Editing auto-generated captions for accuracy is generally quite do-able. Ensuring that the captioning is up to the best practice standards and correctly captions relevant noises, auditory jokes, groups text into optimally understandable blocks, knowing when to cut a speakers verbal tics to enhance readability but not remove the personality, multiple speakers interrupting each other... that’s a whole other level. But it’s interesting, and I’m glad I took the complicated road. It’s really making me think.
Maybe they can edit words into the video once community captions are removed?
ashton c. Captions aren’t going anywhere. No worries! The program will still create auto-generated captions for all videos based on the spoken words. And the creator will be able to create their own captions by typing them out, or editing the auto-generated captions to correct them.
The issue is that creators who have been relying on volunteers, who are usually fans they don’t know personally, to assist with providing corrected captions, and add captions related to sounds - will no longer have an interface for fans to provide that. The ability for volunteers to provide captions in another language is the same interface, so that’s gone too.
Creators will still be able to send the video to a company which does captioning - and theoretically they will provide more accurate and standardized captions - but, it costs money, and those captioners, are not experts on the subject matter in the video.
A video like this wouldn’t suffer. The word hernia is probably the most obscure, and it’s in my auto-correct dictionary. A video on historical dressmaking techniques which names materials and techniques, or theoretical mathematics which includes names of little-known theorem named for the person who proved it... and any number of other topics tend to suffer. Assuming the creator can absorb the cost of a captioning service.
This is terrible! Really! I’m personally a deaf high school students and captioning is really helpful! It helps me understand words that seem confusing or I don’t under stand their voice, I use a cochlear implant so that’s why I can hear.
Genuine question, if you’re drunk, does sign language “sound” drunk?
I don't like alcohol and wish people didn't drink it but... that is a fascinating question! I don't sign myself but I'm sure that it would be hard to do so correctly because of the loss of fine motor fuctions so it'd probably be like talking in broken English because not every word is being signed correctly (I mean, it does take mental power to do so, after all). That's just my theory anyway, I'm probably wrong!
Yes, I think anybody's abilities to communicate well in their own language goes out the window when very drunk!!
@@clairee4939 Agreed.
I love you guys I think you’re great. I’m relearning sign language online. I took classes and I remember a lot. I want to go to deaf events I’m so scared because my signing is so limited.
@@gmathis38 In my ASL class, it was required to go to Deaf Events where you could not talk out loud! Just bring a paper and pen. Usually people are great about it if you try!
I really love how inclusive and educational this channel is
Had a really crap time. Saw you uploaded. Literally a gift. You'll never know
I'm so sorry for u, are you okay?
Love peace and clarity to you Ibrahim
Are you okay? All the best to you ❤️
@@aireyverse yes I'm doing okay tysm for asking. Felt a hell of a lot happier today 🧡
@@galgreen3749 I feel so much better today tysm. I think it was just a one off thing but I feel more like myself now 🤍🤍🤍🤍
When Ellen talked about self love and mental health I really felt that. I had to go through a full year of college to find out that I had anxiety and figuring out what that meant and how my thought process was different than other people. Love you guys!❤️
LOL, Java: "Only daddy can!" Then followed mommy so I can be part of outro! So cute! She makes me laugh and melts my heart at same time!
Mary Ellen Simpson hahaha 😆
Ryan you will be back to fit and fine after surgery. Ellen, you are an amazing soul and i am so glad you’re becoming more comfortable sharing your life with us, because you have so much to teach us about love, family, and life. You both put yourselves out there for the world and that takes courage. And you both have courage and strength. Peace! And the videos aren’t over until ... Ryan ....signs ...OUT!
I love how sweetly Java takes the treat from your hand. If I tried to give my dog a treat like that, I wouldn't have a working hand any more, lol.
Just wanted to come in the comments and say I've taken 2 years of sign class and I love learning news ones and especially being able to practice it at my job. Watching your youtube is the reason I started to practice and relearn what I forgot! Recently, with new pandemic practices, I've been teaching my coworkers basic signs like numbers and how to say "how many," among other things to keep our store at our capacity. They love it and have been going further learning new signs on their own!
Ily guys do much and y’all inspire me all thime
Ryan is the best!
He is so handsome!!!
Nobody can hurt him!!
Ellen your voice is a voice of a true angel 👼 so calming and soothing love listening to you first thing in the morning I turn on your videos to listen to your calming voice true soothing procedure ❤️
In this crazy hectic world your calming videos are a breath of fresh air
hope Ryan is doing well, and recovers quickly whenever surgery time comes! I also could NOT stop laughing at Java when she'd get her tag in her mouth and acted like a goof!
To all the people that are reading comments! Have a good day and let's pray for lebanon.
yes 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love your videos. Right now I am learning the German sign language.
I’m a nurse at a hospital and honestly, I personally prefer when someone of the patient’s choosing translates for them. Whether it’s ASL, Spanish, Russian, etc... our video interpreter is honestly a hit or miss, depending on the individual translator. I feel like there’s still a lot lost in translation, it’s awkward, and it’s yet another stranger being made privy to the patient’s personal business. I just want to make sure my patients are comfortable and feel like this happens more easily when a family member or close friend translates.
When you hit like before you even watch the video! 🧡🧡🧡
Hi I’m a big fan of you guys I hope you are doing well in quarantine
Oscar Way hey Oscar! Thanks, hope the same for ya!
Sign Duo thank you!!!!
You guys are honestly one of the best couples. You're there for each other, even when both of you are struggling, and that's real love. 😍❤💞
YAY! my insurance is fighting me about my meds that help me be able to walk, my kid had a sensory melt down at the dr today AND we are buying a house and negotiating with bank, seller, realtors, inspectors and appraisals! It was a full day but this will be fun to watch in our down time. thanks for sharing!
SO thankful for the last 3 Vlogs! Ryan, stay strong and keep loving Ellen. Ellen, you stay strong too and keep loving Ryan. Java, you stay wiggly and keep loving Mom and Dad!
Love yall🧡🧡
I hope Ryan heals up nicely. Love you guys 💜
Laa The Slaya thank you ❤️
Ellen you look soooo pretty in this video and your dress is beautiful ♡.
Get well soon Ryan!!
I love you guys so much !!♡
Hi Ellen and Ryan and Java 👋👋. New sub. I love your story and I want to say thank you for being different. I am instantly drawn with your videos. Much respect and love from Socal. Stay safe and blessed in 2020.
"Never underestimate the power of love" -my wife
Ellen, it’s good that you’re sharing those moments when you felt so defeated with anxiety and whatever other mental problems. People need to see that it is normal and that they are not alone. There are options out there to deal with mental problems. There is no need to be ashamed of it. Also, if there’s anyone out that is suffering from mental health, we need to do our best to help and guide them. To be their hope and be willing to be a part of their journey, and help them get professional help.
Ryan, I hope you have a speedy recovery after the surgery. I’m sorry to see that you’re in too much pain. It will soon be over after the surgery and you will be back to normal.
Java is such a cutie. She is so smart and so lovable. Well, I guess it’s cuz she has good parents, who give her love and train her well.
I am looking forward to your next video. Keep them coming. :)
Love the video
I love you guys too! Take care of yourself! 💜
Sending best wishes for surgery soon and a smooth recovery as well
Love you guys!!!
You guys truly are meant for each other
I love y’all’s videos yall are such a good duo!!! All the love from TN
We will always be here for you guys!!!!
I just wanted to let you know that you are making a difference. It is because of you two that I decided to learn sign language. Thanks for what you do.
Love you guys so much!!!

I came looking for another video of yours to watch and saw you had posted literally a minute again! So happy! I hope Ryan feels better soon. This hernia sounds very painful
Awesome video guys. 👍🏻👍🏻
I've been looking forward to your next upload, enjoyed the video as always. To Ryan, I really hope you feel better soon!
Take care Ryan! Stay safe and healthy everyone!
Aww I hope he gets better ❤️❤️✨✨ luv u guys
Love you guys!!
Ellen you are wonderful, is okay to express your emotions and talk about it. Enjoy your time with your family 😊
I love you guys so much!! I've been watching your videos since I first started learning ASL and I can see how much I've improved just by watching you guys and understanding the sign, you guys are such a cute couple and I wish you guys the best!! ❤️💕
Y'all have inspire me to learn ASL.
Ever since i was recommended with your videos, i instantly enjoyed them but it definetly is motivating me to learn sign language and to help others, who knows maybe i'll find real love just like yours
I like how you two interact with your dog. Thanks for making me smile. Looking forward to your video.
Love you guys and hope Ryan is able to get his surgery ASAP! That's no fun at all. But also, it's amazing to hear about how well he handles things even under stress and not feeling well. That's hard to come by in someone.
I’m learning sign language to be able to communicate with people hard of hearing and watching u guys is helping me (plus u guys inspired me to learn sign after that video u guys made of how people hard of hearing get treated) I love u guys ❤️🥺
I’ve been learning ASL! I already know the alphabet, greetings, and introduction! Thank y’all for the awesome videos and inspiring experience to learn sign language!! 🤟🤟🤟
I love you guys! I'm studying to be an ASL interpreter. It's been a passion of mine since I was a kid!
Hope you get better soon Ryan! Love this channel so much. Java’s being a good girl like always.❤️⭐️
Can’t wait for your next upload! 😁
You can superglue that broken nail and not have to cut it off. You two are so sweet and so loving- we love to watch your videos. And you inspired me to take an online ASL class. (I only know a little ASL prior to now)
have a safe and good surgery Ryan! your videos together (including java) are so relaxing to watch : )
I CAN’T EXPLAIN HOW MUCH I LOVE THESE PEOPLE😭😭you guys are the SWEETEST God bless you all and hope you get through this tough time and hopefully you feel better Ryan🥺
Hey bro wishing you the best in your surgery. Dont push yourself to hard after. Take your time to get back to everyday activities.
Man I love this channel so much!! I started learning ASL w my dad this quarantine bc of you guys!! I love this language, especially because it teaches people to read body language/expressions better and pay attention and listen (haha maybe not always with your ears in every case) to others while communicating. Idk I just think those are beautiful things to be able to gain from a language
Truely recently my mindset has changed cause i used to think they can't do the normal work and stuff but now after i started watching you guys videos its just so much cooler that how interesting you guys can be.......so thank you .....😊😊😊 and stay blessed😇😇😇😇
I've been feeling blue since my dog passed away a few days ago. Your videos never fail to cheer me up. Thanks for being an inspiration and just being yourselves.
p.s. Java is so lovely💕❤💞
We give our best condolences about the passing of your dog to a better place.
@@SignDuoChannel Thank you so much, it means a lot💖
Hi from Singapore. I love watching your videos. Learning sign language, so I can catch up with you guys.... Jia you !
Don't know why, but your channel give me positive vibe.💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Hello, Sign Duo! I have been watching your channel for a few months now, but I don't think I've commented before (maybe once). I wanted to let you guys know how much I appreciate your channel.
Your videos answer all the questions of "how can I interact with deaf people in a respectful and effective manner." But they also offer so much more than that. Thank you to both of you for sharing your relationship with us, your humor, your personalities, your PUPPY!, your happy moments, your struggles. Wishing you all the best and a quick recovery to Ryan!
I am glad you are doing better mental health-wise, Ellen! And Ryan, I hope you get the surgery soon so you are not in pain anymore! Having intense pain like that is terrible.
Greetings Sign Duo ! I am a new subscriber and wanted to tell you how much i love it !
Thanks so much ! I have a Deaf son in law, and i do a lot of gesturing when our families are together. I fingerspell, too, but that's kind of tedious! :-) Anyway, i am learning a lot from you both !
Hi, Ellen and Ryan. I'm very happy to hear that you're doing so much better, Ellen. I hope that Ryan gets his hernia surgery done soon. Wishing you guys the best.
I just wanted to thank ya'll for your youtube channel. When I went to community college, I took four semesters of ASL. I was comfortable with having a fairly basic conversation. My first teacher was deaf and we didn't speak in the classroom it all. It was totally immersive. Years since, I sadly haven' really practiced.
However, right now my husband and I are learning ASL together, and it's honestly really cool. It's all coming back to me very quickly. We both enjoy learning new things and it's so fun to do together. More than that, I like knowing that if I'm ever in a situation at work where I'm interacting with someone who is deaf and communicates using ASL, I'll be able to make that interaction a much more positive experience.
Awe i feel so bad for Ryan the way he’s explaining how his hernia hurts is so upsetting🥺
So much love. Got me back into asl and remembering on the signs I forgot and can now use for my ABA Students! Hernia's are so painful im surprised its taking so long! Poor Ryan! The doctors need to get their shit TOGETHER!
Glad you’re both doing better (or at least that Ryan is one step closer to better. Hernias are not fun. And mental health is also something that is important to look after and not something that gets talked about enough.
Also, Java is still cute as ever.
I have never seen sign language in a UA-cam video. I like this a lot. It is so cool that he trusts you to interpret for him and I think sign language looks so cool also. I would like to try to learn.
I get you completely, Miss Ellen. I'm going through mental health growth as well. I'm so glad for you :) Ryan is great, you're great. Thanks for sharing.
Every time i watch yalls vids it makes my day and btw java is so freaking cuteee
I love your videos!
Awesome video! I hope that Ryan gets surgery soon and has a safe recovery. Ryan, thanks for sharing why you use Ellen for interpreting. Ellen, I understand what you mean about talking more about your mental health and what you're going through, the better you're able to move on and look to the future. That's true for me because I didn't talk about my mental health for a long time. The moment I started to open up with a friend or whoever, I noticed that I started to feel lighter. So I kept talking and implemented tools that help me to improve. My mental health is the best it has ever been in years.
I really appreciated you opening up about your mental health. It's fantastic that you're doing a lot better, forming better habits, starting to be less stressed and put less pressure on yourself. :D Also, that you're just enjoying being in the moment more often and taking care of yourself. You're amazing, keep being you and you do what's best for you. :D
I work at a community health clinic in an area with a large Spanish speaking population, and while we do have interpretation services available, we also allow patients to choose to bring a family member or friend with them to interpret, even now while we generally only allow the patients to come in and no extras. It’s all about the patient receiving the highest level of care; if they are more comfortable having a trusted person interpreting, then that’s what they deserve!
I'm an ASL student and these videos help me so much! Thank you for sharing!!
I noticed you used the sign AND, my teacher normally tells us to avoid the sign unless you're signing PRODUCE (the F-R-U-I-T AND V-E-G version), is this because you're speaking at the same time as signing? Or do you sign a different version of ASL (SEE)?
You guys are amazing ❤️🙂 I adore u both.
Hey.thanks for making me read I love your vids and I'm trying to learn sign language.you guys are improving my grades.
Because of you guys, I'm learning sign🙃🙃
OMGGG your dog its literally the cutest thing 😊😊😊🐶🐶🐶
I'm early and watching a new video on time 🙌🏼 Yay!!
Your hair looks so pretty Ellen omg 🥺
My dad had a hernia and it caused him constant pain. I’m sure Ryan feels very much the same. I hope that the problem can be solved and he can be back to feeling his 100% self! ❤️
I just found out about you guys through a video " now this " when you had to go through that not so good experience at a drive through. Its really sad that most people dont know ASL or at least the basic signs. I remember how I struggled when I moved to the US and didnt know much English. Ellen i love how much you care for Ryan. God bless you guys. 💐💐💐💐
First ily guys sooo much and Java too♡
