if you're producing a show that has a specific subject or theme that might involve a lot of specific vocab, such as a sci fi or fantasy (or, say, dnd, which is what i'm annoyed about specifically), whoever is writing your captions needs to know that vocabulary! your captions need to be accurate even if, or perhaps especially if, the language is a little more complex or specific! this is basic accessibility!

#im watching the unsleeping city for the first time and the captions are a little bit fucked up in place #s #dropout for the most part is pretty good w their captions but ive noticed errors in fantasy high as well #but tuc is worse so far bc i keep seeing captions like “budork inspiration” when the audio very clearly is talking about bardic #like cmon. i can work it out from context clues and being able to hear the audio but a) not everyone can do that and D/deaf people deserve #accurate captions and b) i shouldnt have to work it out! i shouldnt have to put more effort in man just check your captions #anyway rant over im just mildly annoyed #my post
