My TEDWomen 2017 experience at New Orleans : Part 1

By Anuvaadika, Events

TEDWomen 2017, New Orleans

Attending the TEDWomen 2017 as a TED translator was an awesome experience for me. Bridges was the theme of this year’s conference. As Pat Mitchell, the curator and host of TEDWomen so aptly put it,

“We will explore ideas about how to build and design bridges, both literal and virtual, that connect us to each other and as a global community; ideas about how to suspend opinions, beliefs, even doubts; and ideas about when and how to burn bridges in order to move forward.”

Furthermore, it was not just an event for me, but an experience of a life time ! Hearing the powerful speakers, getting to meet wonderful people and coming across inspiring stories. As so many of my loving friends and relatives have been asking me about my experience, I just thought might as well write a post about it.

Austin Eubank’s TEDx talk on pain and addiction

By Anuvaadika, My Work

The recent shooting at the Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas left us all heart broken.  A lone gunman shot dead 26 people, and injured so many others.  At this time of crisis, I am reminded of a talk on pain and addiction that I recently translated about the aftermath of the 1999 Columbine High School shooting.

Why Quality Closed Captioning is so Important

By Anuvaadika,

This is a TEDx talk on their YT channel that’s worth listening too… it emphasis what closed captioning is and how it became to important… a must hear kind of a TEDx talk…

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Hindi is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. India is a very diverse country. There are 29 states where over 22 official languages are spoken. Each State has its own uniqueness in terms of food, culture, dresses, customs, traditions, festivals, expressions, language and more.  Even the division of states in India is based on cultural and lingual proximities.

YouTube Video Subtitles – and how to view them

By Anuvaadika,

YouTube Video Subtitles are easy to use and sometimes hard to find

I do a lot of translation and subtitling work for social causes each month. Those translations are done for free and as a volunteer. I want the speaker’s message to reach out to as many people in the world as possible. YouTube Video Subtitles go a long way to extend the reach of thought, idea or knowledge. They also help with accessibility.
