Subtitles on confessions

I know it involves a lot of work, but would it be possible to include subtitles on confessions?
I'm quite sure there are many of us who would really appreciate to have this feature, say because of not native english speakers dealing with hardly recognisable pronunciations, hearing impairness of subsicribers, etc.
I believe even english speakers may find it appreciable because of the difficult to make sense out of foreign jargon,

Re: Subtitles on confessions

I agree. I have to pass by many of the confessions because I can't understand enough of what they are saying. Often this results from street noise or even wind, and their distance from the microphone, but sometimes it is because they look down or lower their voice or say something quickly that I don't catch. And sometimes, in addition to this, the accent is unfamiliar, especially with non-English speakers. It comes from not having a unidirectional microphone near their mouth, and perhaps from not having experience making recordings. Of course, part of the attraction of this site is that almost all of the contributors are amateurs, just sharing an intimate aspect of their lives. So the addition of subtitles would make these confessions more usable.

Hey Yomero23 and Appreciative,

Unfortunately we won't be able to include subtitles for every confession we receive, but I will try my best to include them for times when it is difficult to hear the Agonists. Thanks for the feedback!

Being a part time sound engineer, I agree with Appreciative on the reasons for the hard to understand confessions.
