Interesting comment..

[Doru Horishco]

I have cable tv at home. The news channel I first tune in every day is the BBC World
 Service (or something like that). There are no subtitles there and I'm proud to
recognise that I understand more than 95% of the words.
There was a time when Animal Planet channel doesn't have subtitle either and I
was forced to remember all the  forgotten words   and learn others that I never knew
they existed. (I watch other channels too).
        There are two English voices that I love. The first one is the voice of sir
David Attenborough and the second is the one of Alan Pope (you can't compete 
with me I'm a fan).
        Improvement? Yes it can be improved. Alan's voice is one of a story teller 
and I personally find  that pretty hard to synchronise with a subtitle. But it is 
not impossible. If you can "write down" the sound track before dubbing and read
the result when you actually encode the screencast.  
I found 2 or 3 words  that I wasn't familiar with ( corky , quirky ). But I found them
amusing. 
        About the technical words, they rise no problems to me, so no need to change them.
Conclusion : Not much to do (if nothing).
