    Worst CC on TV?

    What about capitalization changes over the years? When I first saw and used closed captions I was puzzled by seeing sentences in all capitals. I came to like it because it makes all the letters the same size. As time has gone on I notice that I am seeing more and more just capitals for the...

    Worst CC on TV?

    The "TEST" part I think is testing the connection when the person doing the captioning is not at the same location as the event they will be captioning. Thus, testing the connection.

    Worst CC on TV?

    I am spoiled by real time captioning and get annoyed when ANY program on ANY station has scripted captions. It really gets me when that program is news and we don't get what the meteorologist is saying are the details of the forecast.

    You have to be Deaf to Understand....

    I have long used Google's FREE Live Transcribe on an Android phone and really like it. As anything we humans create it is not 100% but I find even the errors understandable from context by far most of the time. Some are even memorable. Like the time it had my pastor saying that Jesus was born...

    Work Resources for Deaf/ HOH Employees

    I am well past the age of needing this kind of support but what I have seen so far seems to forget the size of the location where both you and your customers are living. Like I believe -bex is in Nashville, TN whee I am in a small town of about 12, 000 with the area maybe reaching 20,000 in...

    You have to be Deaf to Understand....

    Jennpolym I don't know all the acronyms that were used in posts but to me what you wrote reads like the first problem was eyesight and you never quite caught up. It also looks to me like you might be good at ASL if you get a chance to learn it.

    Questions/ A Discussion on Being Part of the Deaf Community

    At the places that do have the order verification on screen you may have to ask for it as not all order takers think to use it. Even places that do have it it can be "down" at the time you are there. Both in that case and at places that don't have it I have found mentioning your hearing and...

    No intention to be "snarky". I just thought you were interested in information and wasn't sure what you have already seen.

    Deaf in Nashville

    Another thing. Being new I don't know if you have seen any of my posts about InnoCaption for cell phones. I really like it and have it set so that all calls to my regular cell number are forwarded to my number from InnoCaption. Thus ALL calls are captioned. It is slightly slower than...

    Deaf in Nashville

    It might help if you told us which Nashville! There is a Nashville in several states. Of course, the best known one in TN which I am sure is what most of us think of first. Then I think I saw where n.bex was reporting problems using the dirve-thru at a fast food restaurant. For any of us that...

    what breakdown company's do people use with support for hard of hearing?

    I don't know about a company to refer you to but if you can speak for yourself you can get service from any of them this way. I have InnoCaption on my cell phone. It is set for all calls to my regular cell phone number to be forwarded to my InnoCaption number. Thus everything that the other...

    What are you doing right now? Part II

    I have a feeling it might actually go smoother at home than at school because of lack of interruptions. And because of that actually also get done faster.

    Anyone made vegan recipe with non-vegan ingredients?

    What led to me starting this is that I am often awake in the early morning and "Create" carries "The Jazzy Vegetarian". She often mentions that an ingredient that she is using takes the place of a certain animal products used in non vegan recipes.

    Thanks for screens that show what you are ordering as you order

    Stopping at a couple of drive-thru ordering lines the other day reminded me of how thankful I am for the ones that have screens that show what you are ordering as you order. I am toooo hard of hearing to understand if they just read back what you order. It does make a difference where they are...

    Get ATT to make Relay Call when calling you back?

    I still have what evolved from a 4 digit line my folks got in the late 1940's. The town I live in went through just numbers given to an operator to having either an A or B with the number, installation of rotary dial phones, push button tone dialing and the latest is having to dial all 10...

    Get ATT to make Relay Call when calling you back?

    I thought of something yesterday and checked it with Illinois Relay Support. And . . ..their understanding is that it should work. That is since ATT (or anyone else setup the same way) does not have 711 setup as an outgoing number give them the old 800 number (In Illinois that voice caller...
