Annual Conference ???

[ecowper]

Yes!!!!!!

[Meathead]

I continue to look at options, but they are either really expensive or poor quality. Sigh.

[Meathead]

Just met FTF with them. It has some possibility.

[Meathead]

My thoughts exactly. But it would be nice to have a national Meat-Up...

[Meathead]

We have begun planning.

Guy we're actually still looking into CC and have a line on a service we just might maybe be able to afford. I think it will be great both for yourself as well as folks that might want to watch the videos muted. I agree with you on the YouTube built in voice transcription software. It's just not very good at all. I tried it out on a couple of videos that I had uploaded to YouTube and some of the things it came up with were hilarious, but little of it made sense or agreed with the actual dialogue. Oh, and thanks for the props!

Meathead, I understand and you are right Pit Boss has it all under control and does a great job. You may not know this but I am hearing impaired and I mentioned that I could not watch the seminars because they are not closed caption. Boss checked into this and found out what I already knew. Closed Caption is expensive. Unless you are really a huge company of get a sponsor for closed caption (Like Weber or General Motors, LOL you can't afford it. You may have noticed that a lot of companies on YouTube have closed caption on their ads and instruction vids. More and more backyard vids are getting closed caption too on YouTube. You might want to check that out and see how that is done. Anyway I can tell you that I think YouTube uses voice recognition software on all of theirs. This is practically worthless as far as I am concerned because if you cannot speak the English language like Daniel Webster then the software does not understand you. Therefore it prints garbage. So don't waste any money with that system. It is just one of those things. Seems like only the TV giants can afford the real closed caption. And I am not sure the government is not making them do it.

Anyhow, have a good year.

Hey, Guy, I don't get into the Pit as much as I'd like, but that's because I know Pit Boss has it under control. I am actively responding to comments on the public website where there are a lot of newbies, and busily working on a new design for the website that works MUCH better on tablets and smartphones. I am also pounding away on my book and working with Chef Ryan on new recipes. You'll be seeing more of me.

Good to hear from you Meathead. Don't see you enough but I understand someone has to run the show. Good Job.
