20 Use of Automatic Captioning Article in Inside Higher Ed: Accessibility Suffers During Pandemic "''Colleges should not look to automated speech recognition, or ASR, software for live video formats, such as what is provided as a default for the Zoom, Web. Ex and Google Hangout conferencing platforms.

'We challenge any claim of accuracy measurements of ASR given that there is absolutely no valid metric to assess the accuracy of captioning at this time. ’“ (quote from Howard Rosenblum, CEO of NAD)
