When a respeaker goes on-air he connects to K-live, puts his headphones on and respeaks what he hears into the microphone and then the voice recognition element of ViaVoice processes the vocal input from the microphone, turns it into text and K-live broadcasts it on the screen so that the words scroll out one by one. 2, record 1, English, - respeaker

Qualifier les sous-titreurs vocaux de «perroquets» en croyant qu'ils effectuent bêtement un travail de restitution n'exigeant aucun effort de réflexion serait méconnaître la nature véritable de leur tâche. [...] Le sous-titreur vocal au service de la Chambre des communes est astreint quant à lui, à une plus grande fidélité aux mots, à une restitution verbatim. Cela ne fait pas pour autant de lui un simple «mâchonneur» de mots [...]. Il lui faut, en effet, bien comprendre les interventions des parlementaires et être particulièrement attentif à la manière dont leurs propos sont exprimés, afin de procéder à certaines adaptations au besoin. 2, record 1, French, - sous%2Dtitreur%20vocal
