Machine learning, automated speech recognition play catch-up

Social media and UAVs, better known as drones, have hooked up, with DJI using its Phantom 4 model to live stream a video to the Facebook Live video service during the F8 developer conference in San Francisco.

Following the FCC’s release of new closed captioning rules, Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler issued a statement to help clarify what entities are responsible for delivery and quality of closed captions on television.

Without closed captioning, the deaf and hard of hearing cannot fully appreciate the video they’re watching.

Streambox is logging on to Facebook Live as the company announced it has added native support that will be available immediately.

The new standard addresses the need for captioned material across the Internet.

Closed-captioning rules are still being sorted.

Groups serving the deaf and hard-of-hearing community want to make sure that closed captioning requirements carry over to voluntary ATSC 3.0 roll outs.
