I find the waves distracting. - Meryl Evans on Turn the Lens

#caption #closedcaption #hearing

If I'm making a post from a podcast and I put closed captions against a slide, I put an audio waveform just so that there's something to fill in between when the captions are on and off, so that you can see it didn't pause, it didn't stop, it didn't freak out.

I have seen those podcast clips you’re talking about. I haven’t seen any lately. Thankfully! Because I find the waves distracting. I was having a hard time paying attention to the caption when it kept basically doing this to me. It bothers me. I can't speak for everybody, of course. I just find it distracting, but I am not ADHD or have certain disabilities that might be easily distracted by something like that.

Or, they may benefit from it because sometimes people who have ADHD benefit from having the motion so they can focus better because they need to have two things going on. Right. I know because my whole family has it. So I know how that goes sometimes.
