Translation didn't come first. Captions did. We, people with disabilities, were the proof of concept.

Proof Cases Ep 4.

Next week: Voxally.

What would you add to this test to make it fair?

[Non-Breaking Space @MichaelANesmith]

Every captioning glasses brand publishes a latency number. Nobody publishes how they measured it. So I built my own. Proof Cases Ep 4, live.

Everybody in the room thinks I'm an idiot. I'm not. My captions are late. Every captioning glasses brand publishes a latency number. None publish how they measured it. So I built the test.

Proof Cases Ep 4: Leion Hey2.

[Non-Breaking Space @MichaelANesmith]

When captions run late, I answer late. I laugh a beat after everyone else. I nod at the wrong moment.

They think I'm slow.

I'm not. My captions are.

Proof Cases Episode 4 premieres October 5 at 9 AM ET.

I remember what I signed. Pocket gave me the receipt of what was voiced. Full episode in the reply. Monday: @LlvisionG Hey2.

Years of interpreted meetings and no way to check any of them. How many opportunities died in translation and I never knew. Episode 3 in the reply.

One click and it rides in my pocket. It does nothing during the meeting. That is exactly why it works. Full episode in the reply.

Everyone within twenty feet can overhear that awkward date. I need one click and a little shamelessness. Why can't I? Full episode in the reply.

[Non-Breaking Space @MichaelANesmith]

https://t.co/NjlyuFn11H Full episode, captioned.

[Non-Breaking Space @MichaelANesmith]

My ASL interpreters fucked up. The transcript caught it. I fired the team overnight and we re-recorded the podcast the next morning. Episode 3 is about Pocket, the recorder that gave me the receipt.

[Non-Breaking Space @MichaelANesmith]

Two months into running my business. I get a podcast interview at Augmented World Expo. Joining me were two American Sign Language interpreters who I've never worked with before. The interview felt off.

Proof Cases Episode 3 premieres tomorrow, Monday September 28, at 9 AM ET.

Last @XREAL_Global clip. Next week: @Heypocket. No screen at all and it listens to everything. The exact opposite product, same questions.

What's your favorite unlabeled accessibility feature?

[Non-Breaking Space @MichaelANesmith]

Big week for glasses with assistants. Mine can't hear me either. But they have a button that clears the screen when a human shows up. No review mentioned it.
