[SBE] Real-Time Closed Captioning

[Bo]

We looked at several automated boxes and could not find any that we more
than 70% accurate.  If it is the same voice every time a software call
"Naturally Speaking" does a good job, but only after a lot of tweaking.  We
ended up going with a company named Caption First, and they do a great job.
They phone in through a Gentner unit to listen to our broadcast and connect
to a Link Electronics box for the insertion.  Works great, and cheaper than
hiring your own stenographer to sit there and do it on site.

Any voice recognition software/hardware combo people trust?  Most of the
content is live presentations that need to be captioned in real time for HD
closed circuit broadcast.

Thanks.
