Live Captioning

There are presently 2 types used for the pattern of live captioning - steno captioning and captioning using voice detection software (frequently called voice captioning). even these types are used significantly on television, with audio captioning measured to be more suitable for sports and news programs.

With the 2 Types, there is a preordained delay between the conversation being spoken and the captions roll on screen - 3-5 seconds is normally considered up to standard. Captions also come in to view 1 word at a time, notlike pre-set captions that come out 1 or 2 lines at a time. Text files of the captions can be reedited after the event.
