The point is: real time captioning is not faster than

If we want to make DConf more accessible to the hearing
impaired, they should be published before or concurrently with
the talks.
I am hearing impaired and interested in DConf talks. I can't
always listen to the talks when they come out, but would
definitely be more interested if they were captioned. And
transcripts would be hugely appreciated as well.
I agree that captioning is a good idea. I was just responding to
"It's useful for people you cannot hear properly, but I'd say our

hearing impaired, it should not be *after* the talk is done.
