Today was the first time I've ever gotten captioning at school before. I am in college, and I got one/two captionists in each class. The only thing is, with about 2, maybe even 3 teachers, I find myself looking at the screen often, with one teacher I need to STARE at the screen because he seems to be Russian, his accent is HORRIBLE! I cannot understand him at all! But I'm concerned because I can't read what he puts on the board, what he points at, and read what he's saying in reference to what he points at, or look at the power point slide before he changes it. Has anyone else had an issue where they could not possibly multitask this way? Having to take notes with it is even more insane. We do not have notetakers at my university, but we do get a transcript of the captioning. However, we don't get what is on the powerpoints sometimes, or whatever the teacher uses on the computer, so it's difficult for me to pay attention to what is being said on the screen, and writing the material down.
