Twitter used to police television caption quality
In reaction to a series of non-compliance with captioning regulations the station has set up a “visual’ captioning alert internally in its presentation centre to highlight any programs going to air without captions. In addition, the station is asking caption viewers to alert it to any problems via the social networking service, Twitter.
The Twitter account is @nbntech. To alert NBN to a captioning issue, simply log on to Twitter and select “mention @nbntech” in the drop down menu. It is also exploring other ways to allow caption problems to be reported, including SMS.
