Text can be translated very easily, doesn't have to be done by the
person doing the speaking. Once it's done, it's done - the translation
is always available. But anything spoken/recorded in one language needs
to be interpreted by someone else every time someone who doesn't speak
the presenter's language. The only way around that is for multiple
versions of the video,

Sounds can be demonstrated quite easily via the same web that we use to
watch YouTube vids ... a simple link on a text page is sufficient for that.

Free or fee, the silly belief that learning is best done via video is
something I complain about. And I used to do technology training for a
living, so I know about the strengths/weaknesses of the various ways of
delivering training.

My only small request with Zyn would be he somehow find a way to fix its
ability to just freeze up, quite responding, and turn into a zombie ...

My suggestion would be then to sit down and watch the videos and write out every step he's doing step by step and share it, so everyone benefits.
