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Broadcasters & Outdated Technology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!
