Sometimes we use the subtitles on TV and at times the news reports make for interesting reading....Not unlike some of the enumerators writings or the census transcriptions. |

When you actually need them as I sometimes do if the programme is really low or I don't want to disturb others in the room, they can be annoying. Some programmes are totally out of sinc. |

I wear a hearing aid but even with that it is sometimes difficult to pick out words, especially if the person speaking is not facing the camera. |

going off at a slight tangent, years ago went with my lovely OH to a Western film and all the way through I'm saying - the sound is out of synch!! Rang the cinema next day to complain, saying to the manager "They may as well have been speaking in a foreign language" to which he replied "Well they were"" It was one of those spaghettie westerns!! I felt a bit of a dickhead!! |

I feel very sorry for peeps who have to rely on this service. I was absolutely gobsmacked one very late evening when I was playing around with the subtitle button on the remote. What was being put out was so not what was being said. |

To those of us who half rely on sub titles but who can also hear what they should be they are just aggravating it is worth remembering that some people rely totally on them so I do wish they would find a fool proof system |
