I provide quality realtime closed captioning for broadcast television, remote and on-site CART for the Deaf/HOH communities. #hearforyou

@dcaption quality cc matters. Real life human closed captioners are the BEST technology.

[lisatorres @dcaption]

So disappointing @FCC and @AjitPaiFCC still allowing this #craptioning on @BN9 ... @NAD1880 @MarleeMatlin @FADeaf #ASR

[lisatorres @dcaption]

The law is generally clear that government agencies must make their websites accessible. No captions on @cspan 1/27/21 for online viewers. @DickDurbin @FCC @NAD1880 @MarleeMatlin #AccessibilityFail

@TheRevAI @accessinclusion @Oprah @staceyabrams @AjitPaiFCC @Kaepernick7 @Dreamdefenders @eji_org @mayawiley @shaunking @NBDAdvocates @tribunemedia needs to be held accountable for using AI software for closed captions. This is unacceptable.

[lisatorres @dcaption]

In October 2018 @tribunemedia replaced all human captioners with AI, artificial intelligence software for their 42 TV stations. Is this what we can now expect to see? Unacceptable! @Broncos @VonMiller @NAD1880 @FCC @KDVR @fox31denver

Why we need real live human broadcast captioners, who transcribe verbatim. There is no replacing the trained human ear to understand context, hear over background noise, and decipher accents. #humancaptions #hearforyou #qualitycc

A quick look at what pains me about #ClosedCaptioning, at least ten times per #tv or #news program....

“The idea was to test people to see if they would owe bay” [vs. obey?] (in a doc re: #Cults?!)....clearly using #AI to #transcribe.

THIS is why we still need human #editors.

[Tasha Sisneros @TatsCaptions]

Whether it's using inferior AVR to provide captions in place of human real-time captioners or no CC at all, it's unacceptable!! @weatherchannel the thousands of Deaf and HOH in the path of #HurricaneMichael NEED captions. Access to info is VITAL. https://t.co/lvPBytDTlu

[Tasha Sisneros @TatsCaptions]

Without captions, warnings about Hurricane Michael failed to reach... https://t.co/lvPBytDTlu

Canadian's have something to look forward to if their Parliament recognizes sign language as an official language! This would make public services and education more accessible to all. #ASLandLSQCanada #RecongnizeASLandLSQandISL #Signlanguage #accessibility

[CC1 @StenoCC]

This should be required everywhere. Majority of waiting rooms and places I go (dentist, auto shop, etc) have #captions turned off!

Human CC: [Loud Sirens] >> SHE ALONG WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHERS WILL MEET UP FOR A CEREMONY TOMORROW MORNING. WE WILL HAVE THE LATEST COVERAGE ON "GOOD DAY UTAH" STARTING AT 4:30 A.M. WE WILL HEAR FROM LOCAL UTAHNS THAT HAVE LOST THEIR LOVED ONES. KIERSTEN NUNEZ, FOX 13 NEWS."

[Tasha Sisneros @TatsCaptions]

AI software is not capable of deciphering speech over loud sounds, background noise, cross talk. A loud siren is heard in this clip. NO CAPTIONS. The FCC meets TOMORROW! Demand quality captions standards be implemented. Email [email protected].

@seanzdenek I just read your interview with @reelwordsedit. Fabulous! We would love for you to join us on Closed Captioning Quality Club on Facebook. (Deaf/HOH, realtime captioners, and anyone concerned with quality CC.) We always work on improving our CC product.

[Tasha Sisneros @TatsCaptions]

@reelwordsedit @reelwordsedit, I love this! We need more input from you and this author on our CC Quality club on Facebook. There are a lot of veteran realtime captioners there that need this kind of input on how to improve for our clients.
