What is needed to achieve more accurate closed captioning are advances in speech recognition software, in my opinion.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-30720791569775272822021-04-11T11:08:13.476-04:002021-04-11T11:08:13.476-04:00On the subjects of masks whist I understand that t...On the subjects of masks whist I understand that the principal purpose of an 'ordinary' mask is to protect others (hence the reason a surgeon wears a surgical mask which is what most of us are wearing) if one wants to protect ones self as well one wears a Type IIR and FFP2 mask. Those are the sort worn on a Covid-19 ward or the sort worn by carpenters, engineers and anyone else who may be inhaling fine dust without one. They are the sort I had at the start of the epidemic because I used them when I was using my woodworking machinery.<br /><br />Predictive text/spillchuckers have a lot for which to answer. Having said that we have become sloppy (I have become sloppy) and tend to press 'send' before I check what has appeared on the page in front of me. <br />Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-27504065321269217412021-04-11T03:05:18.141-04:002021-04-11T03:05:18.141-04:00Bonnie, did the experts change their opinions or d...<b>Bonnie,</b> did the experts change their opinions or did the people in charge of things change experts? rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-1762639560377185912021-04-10T23:57:17.891-04:002021-04-10T23:57:17.891-04:00I think wearing a mask protects us and others and ...I think wearing a mask protects us and others and I think in recent months they have said that.

Yes, I have seen some funny closed captions too. Winston Churchill is one of my heroes, and I am reading many biographies about him. I chuckle each time I read his comment on prepositions "something up with which I will not put."Terra https://www.blogger.com/profile/04396481049075747940noreply@blogger.com
