Would the viability of close captioning be improved if there were a short delay? For the purpose of discussion I propose a 20s delay. For people who type quickly or who have experience typing subtitles, would this be a sufficient delay to type out the crucial information into subtitles for the hearing impaired? For those who aren't hearing impaired, would a 20s delay to the stream "ruin" the live experience?
In Canada, there was a hockey commentator who was notorious for making racy remarks. The CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) put a 7-second delay on live casts so that producers could cut the sound if the commentator said something which wasn't politically correct. It is my opinion that hockey was not ruined for Canadians at this point. It is important to note that he only analyzed the game between periods and the live action was not put on any sort of delay that I know of.

I would gladly take a short delay if that helped the hearing impaired enjoy live events as much as I do.

Very considerate opinion coming from you. I as well think that a delay will have to be the method used to enable subtitles in live streams. It really is not that detrimental to the viewers, and I also would gladly have the delay even just to have the opportunity to read the subtitles, because I tend to have that habit. If this method does not cost too much, corporations should look into it and find a suitable way to effectively add subtitles to streams.

Probably would be easier/smarter to have a professional doing sign language (had a woman do it in one of my college courses because there were 4-5 deaf students. ) and then giving deaf people the option to view the "sign language stream" which would work kind of like the on player webcam in the bottom.
I know this only apply to people who are deaf and not people who are just watching with no sound. But insta-subbing sounds pretty hard if it has to be done by hand and not automated with software.

If it can be done for live sport broadcasts, why not Starcraft? The delay is obviously acceptable there (given lack of other options, I suppose), so as long as everyone was aware that there's a short delay between the action and the transcription, it's fine.
