A Public Archive & Accessibility Audit
All The Words On The Screen is a public record of how captions appear in the real world—where they work, where they break down, and where they can be improved.
We document what people actually experience, so access can be seen, understood, and improved.
The Challenge
A small transcription error can change urgency, context, or tone before anyone notices.
The audience sees people speaking, but the caption track leaves the moment blank.
Incorrect attribution makes scenes harder to follow, especially offscreen or overlapping speech.
Captions that arrive too early or late can spoil reveals and detach words from action.
No caption option means no repair path for viewers who need words on the screen.
You don’t need specialized equipment.
You don’t need industry credentials.
You need attention.
And a willingness to notice.
Volunteers review content, document caption discrepancies, and contribute to a more accountable media ecosystem.
Better captions do not happen by accident. They happen through attention. Through standards. Through accountability.
Systematically documenting failures and successes.
Encouraging structured auditing and constructive feedback.
Supporting corrections when remediation is possible.
