Lol if the robots are planning to take over the world they're going to need to learn different accents. Nice one, @twitter technology!

Around 40% of us regularly use closed captions when watching TV. Accessibility is huge – but are our broadcasters getting it right? thespinoff.co.nz/media/16-05…
Captions on TVNZ 1 are now working. Here are the details from today's press briefing so far: tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zeal…
Kia ora koutou, we are sorry to report that there is currently a technical issue at TVNZ's end preventing captions from being broadcast.

There's never been a better time to normalize open captions. Put subtitles on everything! They simply make movies more accessible and legible - something everyone that loves movies should want
Coda will break ground by screening in all theaters with open captions. But after a year of watching movies at home, now's the perfect time to push for more - for all movies. @JacobOller makes the case: bit.ly/2VAxtYV

Get ready for an all-nighter of captioned cricket! This Sunday from 9pm we’ll be captioning @Primetv_NZ’s free-to-air coverage of the Cricket World Cup final between the @Blackcaps and England. “Howzat?!” #BACKTHEBLACKCAPS #CWC2019

@NZHEIHEI now carries closed captions on the majority of local content and a selection of international titles - meaning great kids TV is more accessible than ever before. Thanks @NZonAir for supporting this and @able_NZ for your expertise!

Comedian Jordan Peele's directorial debut pays tribute to some horror classics while forging its own creative path. Get Out is equal parts social commentary, amusing and downright terrifying. Watch it tonight on Three... facebook.com/AbleNZ/videos/3…
