    • Experience with captioning tools such as Ai-Media, EEG Falcon, CaptionSync, StreamText, or similar software.
    • Knowledge of caption file formats (SRT, VTT, SCC) and best practices for caption positioning, timing, and quality.
  • Technical Troubleshooting:
    • Proven ability to troubleshoot audio/video quality issues, latency, synchronization problems, and captioning delays.
    • Familiarity with video codecs, streaming resolutions, and bitrates for optimal performance.
  • Compliance & Accessibility:
