  • Thanks for this very clear explanation. One question, though: his video is open-captioned, which allows you to sophisticated layout things to them that wouldn't be possible with YT's closed captioning. But how is it with the "real" See Hear broadcast? And other pre-recorded video content? (It seems obvious that live broadcasts will be close captioned)

  • I wish my remote still had a closed caption option. =/

  • Why have all subtitle's stopped on all channel's

  • Live subtitles are very possible with a live human professional. Worth it!

    Join the CCAC to discuss this - seriously :-).

  • In Germany, there are subtitles on TV only 12.8%! The stations in Germany on BBC Two "Sea Hear" learn. I hope to offer many other countries, subtitling more! // In Deutschland gibt es im TV nur 12,8% Untertitel! Sender in Deutschland können vom BBC Two "Sea Hear" lernen. Ich hoffe, für viele andere Länder auch mehr Untertitelung anzubieten!

  • I use sub-titles 100%. A very interesting video. I have always wondered how sub-titling is done and thought it was mainly by stenography. I didn't realise that many were done by synchronized speach, it also explained why names of places or names of some people are not given. I still find it very frustrating when the sub-titles are out of synch with the picture and this wasn't explained.

  • @mellowNdark Yeah they're like people who comment on YouTube videos (!)

  • This is actually really interesting - I'd assumed subtitles were done by someone watching the program and typing the speech out =P I appreciate them a lot more now!

  • @mellowNdark so are people that comment about it. Get a job.

  • ese pablo!! guapooo!!!
