A fantastic submission, very much appreciated.

I find the presentation style of subtitles with surrounding context extremely helpful. I often lose the ability to listen when concentrating; the subtitle context provides a superior recovery mechanism to the usual, try to work out what was missed. I look forward to purchasing augmented reality glasses at some point in the future which add this advantage to in-person interactions.



Yes!

It’s the complete opposite of, and significantly more user friendly than, how zoom recordings synchronize meeting subtitles with audio/video playback.

In their case they only show the current line in a text message-like sidebar. As the content plays, it snaps the scroll position of the messages to current, hiding the rest. This breaks scrolling ahead or back while listening and you lose any context.

Hopefully I’m just missing a setting - I try to minimize the time I spend in there. Is there a way I can take their damn horse blinders off?


I too appreciate the subtitles and I tend to have them on when I watch+listen to a DVD. You can even click on the sentence and the video jumps to that point. However ... a little proof-reading would help here. To get things started gets transcribed into Ticketing, sir.
