[J3] (SC22WG5.6163) [ukfortran] RE: Impact of coronavirus on WG5 meeting

[Nathan Sircombe]

That's a fair point.

Teams (which I think Bill mentioned the Cray conferencing facilities support) _claims_ to be able to do subtitles on-the-fly.
I have not tested this though...

Cheers,
Nathan.

    I am not currently active, and so am irrelevant, but it is worth noting
    that at least Skype and some other such mechanisms are completely unusable
    for many people with poor hearing. Inter alia, they are not lip-synched
    properly, and very often distort the voices badly. That's partially
    testable in advance by listening to news broadcasts when they show someone
    reporting in such a way.

    I don't know how many likely attendees will be similarly restricted.

    Regards,
    Nick Maclaren.
