Hi Derek, Thanks for chiming in! I agree they should be reasonable if it is a live event, as it is hard to keep up with a speaker. However, most of the shows I noticed the errors are pre-recorded. Maybe my rant should include asking close captioning writers to proof read their script before submitting.

Are you watching a live event? Is the captioner hearing the audio the same moment you are? Then how can you expect every last name to be spelled correctly and every comma in its place? That’s a tall task at 250wpm with three people talking at once.
