Volunteer Opportunities

BatGap is a team effort and we could never do it without our volunteers. People from around the world help make BatGap a more useful resource. If you would like to help, below are some specific needs, or let us know if you want to help in some other way:

Transcript Proofreader: Transcription provides accurate subtitles in YouTube videos. These are valuable because:

YouTube provides automatic caption translation in 100 languages. If original captions are accurate, translated ones will be much better.
They are the basis of the BatGap video content search engine.
Interviews are more accessible to hearing-impaired.
Captioned videos rank higher in search results.
Viewers can watch videos in places where audio is not possible.
Helps those for whom English is a second language.
Helps with comprehension of hard-to-understand dialogue.
More accurate than those created automatically by YouTube.

If you would like to do this while watching interviews, please let us know.
