Uncle Du 22 Posted September 12, 2007 So, are you continuously typing this stuff as they talk, or what? I'm curious as to how it works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted September 12, 2007 I don't, but I think out in California for the live shows, they do. We here just get videos in, so I can rewind and such as I type it all out. And I have to get it all timed right so the captions are on long enough to be read.. the timing part is the pain. Typing it is the easy part (unless people are mumbling or talking over each other ). I'm not fast enough of a typer to do it live, lol. You have to almost be a stenographer for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Du 22 Posted September 12, 2007 Man that's crazy. I can type pretty quick, but if I had to listen to what other people were saying and do that....no thanks. I already have too many voices in my head any way. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted September 12, 2007 Yeah, I don't think I could do live shows.... I'm glad I can rewind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake 53 Posted September 12, 2007 I've visited some people that do closed captioning. I think it was during a class tour of CTV. Do you caption for a major station? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted September 12, 2007 It's nothing local... One of our main clients is the company that owns Food network, Fine Living, DIY network and HGTV. So I do shows on those networks. We, not me personally, also get some ESPN things (mostly old games, cheesey movies, billiards, bowling), some California stuff like Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! and lately my friend has been doing Bold and the Beautfiful. And I think we used to get some ABC shows like Wife Swap. But I generally do just Food and DIY, at least lately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy 60 Posted September 12, 2007 I love it when you're watching a live news show with the subtitles on and they make a mistake and have repeat themselves with the error corrected... hehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ender 8 Posted September 13, 2007 Corran! *Runs over and high-fives* How's Qatar, or wherever the hell you are now? +10 points for remembering it was Qatar. I could go on for hours about the ridiculous driving, the crude imitations of North American fast food, and the egg-frying heat. But who would seriously want me to talk for hours? I've been home for a few months. I wasted most of them playing WoW and getting trashed. I just moved to a basement apartment in Toronto for Uni this year. What about you? Living in NYC and playing rock and roll. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorSec 5 Posted September 13, 2007 Living the dream! You totally reminded me though: Zeppelin Reunion! Still play any tennis? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ender 8 Posted September 13, 2007 Very occasionally. Still love the sport, though, and I managed to get out to a lot of the US Open last week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorSec 5 Posted September 13, 2007 I still kind of play, but I was never mini-pro like you were. Just a hobby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mara 29 Posted September 13, 2007 (edited) I love it when you're watching a live news show with the subtitles on and they make a mistake and have repeat themselves with the error corrected... hehe Yeah, that bothers me.

Vergere 1 Posted September 13, 2007 Alright so question for people. Around here, there's a sprint commercial for waitless.org, or something like that. It's all about football season and fans getting all painted up for the game. Around here, it's Cincinnati Bengals (main team icon shown) and the Indianapolis Colts. Does anyone else know what commercial I'm talking about? If so, what do the regional commercials show? Just curious. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Du 22 Posted September 13, 2007 I've seen it, it's the same teams here in VA. It's pretty funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted September 13, 2007 Sounds familiar... but I can't picture the commercial right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
