Why is closed captioning always so f***ed up?

1 Answer

Answer :

Isn’t it voice recognition software that is used? That certainly has a long way to go… I think it’s kind of funny sometimes to see what comes up on the screen, as opposed to what was really said. But you’re right – if you were deaf, you have to decipher a lot of what you read to make sense of things. My father started to use the CC a couple of years ago and he ends up yelling at the TV a lot because of what it says. It’s kind of comical to watch him. He might do just as well for me to stand up next to the TV and try to write things on a white board for him.
