Accents? What was that? One more time…
Sometimes it’s a struggle to just keep up!
Do the best you can.
Captioning a show can be amusing!
Captioning a show can be sad too!
It can be boring!
It can be frustrating!
Cheesy jokes
and really cheerful morning people
Stations will sometimes play tone on an audio line for various reasons, and it's often ear-splittingly painful!
Ouch! I have on headphones!
Working from home, PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB
When the doorbell rings, neighbor knocks, phone rings! It’s your sister-in-law AGAIN!
Working from home, PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB
Family wanting to talk for just a sec!
Careful Briefing is IMPORTANTGood briefs v. Bad briefs
Dictionary Maintenance
How could this happen?
Zooey Deschanel v Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev
MistakesPrep – Wrong team roster - more than ONCE
Show is different from what captioner prepped
Poker instead of baseball
Placing captions in the incorrect location
SurprisesBathroom breaks & commercials
Lack of info provided by station
Broadcasters & Outdated Technology
Internet is REALLY the captioner’s friend – sports, sports, sports!
Good writing days, bad writing days
Some words you’ll struggle with ALL the time!
And sometimes you’ll come up with an amazing brief!
