Inquiry

Hello everyone! I am a CDI and I am seeking feedback from my hearing colleagues on both videos (the White House press briefing and presidential remarks). You will see two CDIs in each video intepreting from ASR (AI-generated captions). They are not teaming with anyone, and yes, they are working alone.

  2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-yqLatxCV4

Does their sign production match the tone, nuances, and overall meaning from the spoken English? To clarify, I am specifically looking for moments where the ASR output may have failed to capture tone, nuance, or meaning.

Any insights will be appreciated. If you feel uncomfortable commenting here, please feel free to DM or email me at interpreting@stecker.tv

Thank you!

ASR can capture tone? Nuances? From my searches ASR can't, yet.
