BBC Subtitles.
Discussion
Watched the race today in Mrs Thatone's office as she had some work to do.. For some reason they have subtitles permamently on.... The person doing the typing clearly has no knowledge of F1, and it was full of quite comical errors.. My 2 favourites were Whitmarsh explaining Jenson's bad stop, and putting it down to "lunch failure" and Sutil being chased by Mrs Rosberg...
Might do the same again next week!

Not much worse than the BBC Radio 5 commentary.
According to 'Crofty' who, now that he has a little knowledge, talks like he knows it all, there were Toyotas out there today and McLaren should have patented their 'fantastic invention' of the blown wing, which actually uses decades old technology and practice.
Oh well. could be worse; there coudl be no alternative to JL.

Are they generated by voice recognition?Might do the same again next week!
Paul O'Grady's subtitles used to be worth a look, & I seem to remember Prince Harry's saying he was "Spending the weekend with his mates in a b

It is voice recognition but as the computer needs to be calibrate to a voice, speech is repeated by a trained operator that the computer recognises, rather than direct from the original source. The operator will also make corrections manually. If it's anything like the notetaking software used by electronic notetakers, they can build up a dictionary of terms linked to abbreviations to save time. If they load up the wrong file, however, you may up with phrases in PMQs being turned into the names of footballers!
