Whoda taut?
Bell curve graduate on the bong ......
Yes, same woman with 31 priors in her record. Mostly fraud. I’m surprised nobody recognized her. Sounds like she’s been to the Tampa PD many times. Maybe that is why she seemed so at home in the buidling.
I have been using closed captions for 10 or 1 years. News channels I guess use old court recorders or something but YouTube has new software that does real time encoding it is much better than any news I watch.
The excuse given is that the interpreter is there for deaf or hard of hearing press and not necessarily for the home audience.
I’ve noticed that some CC is rife with errors, as if it is software trying to make sense of the noises of humans, and failing. They even skip entire sentences, as if that sentence wasn’t worth the effort.
I rely on CC because I have small, loud children. It’s a godsend.
News Channels are especially bad. I blame it on humans but I don't know for a fact they use humans. I do know that Google has added CC to a lot of their videos and it is all done with speech recognition software and it is quite good. Most DVR boxes let you customize the captions and make them unobtrusive.
If you use Netflix set up the captions, experiment a little and find what works best for you.
I use Casual font, yellow with drop shadow and invisible background, that doesn't seem to bother the rest of the family but stands out well for me.
If you use a cable box you may have to use tech support to get to all the finer adjustments. I have Charter and different does have different hidden codes.
I have a Tivo and it is pretty straight forward easy to adjust the settings. I like the font on the Charter Motorola box much better than the Tivo though.
Why do they still do this ridiculous PC crap? I haven’t seen a TV in years that doesn’t have captions.
