[NFB-DB] Asking for feedback from people who are DeafBlind who attended the most recent presidental release

[Rox Homstad]

Hey Scott, 
I accessed the presidential rlease on my iPhone XR and focus display. I used screen text. 
The thing I found most problematic is that the captions were presented as these huge blocks of text, so you might start out small but then a paragraph later, it is still part of the same caption and I kept getting sent back up to the beginning of my line. It was better than zoom captioning which Ive used before but still not ideal.
Thanks
Rox
