Yet it seems to be a recurring theme for me lately, with inappropriate comments becoming increasingly prevalent. So my time discussing this topic is not quite. And th...

http://limpingchicken.com/2015/05/22/live-captioners

The world's most popular deaf blog! Lays eggs every weekday. Sometimes I say ‘comma’ when I’m talking to my friends. The day Charlie met Ai-Media’s live captioners. Posted on May 22, 2015. Have been one of this site’s longest-serving supporters, and on Wednesday, intrigued by how live captions are provided, I visited their team to meet them and find out how it all works. Now they have a UK team, which is smaller, but growing fast, and can offer live captioning remotely with as little as 15 minutes notice.

They might write this in a way that amuses the reader, or it might make them cry. You might read a particular story and be left completely untouched...

The world's most popular deaf blog! Lays eggs every weekday. Shari Eberts: How to have a better conversation with someone who wears hearing aids. Posted on August 3, 2015. All of us with hearing loss know how hard it can sometimes be to converse comfortably with our friends and family. We get tired, frustrated and sometimes just tune out.
