[NFB-DB] my thoughts on the captioning trial during last Thursday's presidential release.

[maurice mines]

Hello Scott and everyone else. I used the option last Thursday because I 
was having technical issues I am excited to say it worked perfectly for 
me. I was concerned that things were moving too slow is far is the 
reading in braille but at times it seemed to work out just fine. I think 
doing this in the future definitely has some potential possibilities. I 
just wish that this discussion had happened earlier.


The reason why I say I wish the edit occurred earlier this could have 
been employed for our state's upcoming state convention. This would 
especially be helpful, if there was some idea of the cost and figure out 
the cost is lower to do the stream caption than the zoom captioning 
which is actually done by a live person. What I'm getting at here is 
both services have humans doing the transcription. But when I have read 
the normal captioning there seems to be some things missing. There is 
last Thursday's experience I was happy that I did not miss a word of it. 
I hope my comments help? Be safe, and be well, and have an outstanding week.
