About the Project
AMARA (Universal Subtitles) is an innovative technology platform that combines the power of volunteers with the power of the open web. With the proliferation of video content on the Internet – content integral to our daily lives like news, education, political discourse, culture, and so much more – it is truly critical that everyone can access it. In less than a year, working with outstanding partners including PBS Newshour, Khan Academy, Mozilla, and Al Jazeera, Universal Subtitles has already garnered 40,000 completed subtitles, over a half a million video views per month, and over one million unique visits to its website.
