Welcome to Barefoot Math (aka "Jim Propp's math videos")! My videos have captions for those who want them. To learn how to add content to your YouTube channel and to add captions to existing content, see my document-in-progress.
I think it's important to take the extra time to add captions. This isn't just for the hard of hearing; it's for the many millions of people around the world who can process printed English in a video (perhaps pausing the video at times) but can't process spoken English (or can't process it at speed). With a small investment of extra time, you can greatly increase the global accessibility of your video content.
