Readable is powered by the enthusiasm and language skills of its community of editors. Our platform enables editors to co-operate on transcribing any video or sound file that websites like Youtube make publicly available for embedding. Transcripts can be created in over 140 different languages for any video. The more transcripts a video has available in different languages, the more people from around the world will be able to understand and learn from the video content. All it takes for you to become an editor is to Sign in with your Facebook or Google+ account; use our search function to find a video you are interested in working on; and click on the 'Edit' button. That's all it takes to get started!
