ROFLOL

Ditto!! Ditto!! and Ditto!!

When it comes to Voice Recognition on Closed Caption a lot of times
can't spell right or totally miss it on specific words.  This is more
easily seen on certain commercials.  Some commercials are more
entertainment than anything else so when they have CC you get to
see the repeated mistakes.

As for the live news feed and CC a lot of times it appears that someone
is watching the CC and stops it to make a correction.  By the time they
figure it out they have gone to commercial and a few seconds later the
change appears.

The worst CC is on some old movies where the CC is lagging the speech by
about 30 seconds or so.  On those, the CC is turned off.

Have a good day!!
