If this worked well for closed captioning (I worked in the editing end of that field), it would have taken over a long time ago, as offline closed captioning (where the show is captioned in advance and sent back to the network--called pop-up as opposed to real time captioning that you see on news broadcasts) is very expensive. It took a ton of lobbying to get captioning to be required by law. If it weren't, none of the networks would have ever started doing it.

I "always" agree with you, not looking for a debate........I was just giving an example of "free technology" that comes with my phone and it works great. My bride's voice gets picked up because I have it on the speaker microphone option. When it's off this mode......it's perfect.
FYI........I pay for this technology in my business and my employees use S-to-T technology a lot. No issues. We rely on the accuracy of the translation.
Just sharing with the ToTV readers the success I have experienced.........not looking for a debate.
Just trying to give positive information on a very emotional thread.
