I find a Lot of videos and TVs shows have CC problems. Just watched a video from a national syndicated journalist. If it wasn’t RUclips automatically captioning system I would have bypassed the video all together. It was about a group of women rating new celebrities tequilas. OMG! Talk about inconsistency. I couldn’t understand the women at all of the direct link supplied in her’s email article. Had to switch to the RUclips app to enable CC. Even then, the app couldn’t keep up. So sad. Missed about half the video. So, these tequila manufacturers lost sales in honest review of their products. Loss business = lost revenue. Simple as that.
I was at a bar yesterday and I starting talking to the couple next to me. Found out that he is a manager of the nearby Applebees. I talked to him about having CC at bars/restaurants where they purposely mute the numerous TVs. I told him that CC helps not the only the D/HH customers, but the “normal” customers as well. Imagine sitting at bar watching a golf game and not be able to hear the commutators because the TVs are muted? Why turn the CC to allow Everyone to read the announcers. Wow! Rocket Science! Lol. Common sense. After helping the bartender enable the CC at that particular bar, I told him that he could change the color of the CC fonts as well as the placement of the text as not to interfere with the box scores, etc. He said he didn’t know that. Knowledge is power! Ask your local bar/restaurant to enable CC using the idea I just stated and see what they say. God Speed.
