No, sadly a lot of CC stenographers are terrible at what they do. I always enjoy watching the TVs at the gym and catching the last few minutes of SportsCenter in subtitles as they catch up during the commercials.

While CC gives more opportunities for errors, the daily spelling errors in graphics & the ‘crawl’ on most TV channels is outright embarrassing. Makes me wonder if 3rd graders are working there as interns.

This AM, the Fox San Fran station spelled Connecticut with an extra E on the end of it. Truly disgusting.

I watched ABC Good Morning for a whole 2 hours a couple of years ago & the morning news crawl spelled Diane Sawyers name wrong-—for the entire 2 hours. It was spelled Saywer.

I personally call the ABC & CBS channels in Reno at least once a week with spelling errors. They are also completely geographically challenged at ABC-KOLO-with the local highway numbers where problems happen.

When the gravel truck slammed thru a RR crossing & hit the westbound Amtrak train this spring, they spent 5 days repeating the wrong highway number where the problem happened. I called them TWICE in those 5 days & they didn’t correct their rhetoric. I don’t know why they are not embarrassed over such mistakes.
