From the Mind of Trevor Stone

Here's something I've been working on recently at work: captions for videos in Google Docs. In addition to helping deaf and hard of hearing viewers understand your video, automatic translation lets anyone grok your video in their native language. Plus, having captions or a transcript associated with your video makes search easier.

Edit: oh yeah, if you know anyone who's fluent in ASL and interested in helping improve Google+'s Hangout feature, check out this post.
