The linked posting (now?) says the captions are coming from SBS Australia.

Yes, it did when I read the posting, but is that live audio commentary transcribed or live text commentary?

I think realtime-transcribed live audio commentary would be more timely and lively :) though also harder to do I guess. In either case it's a great service.

Edit: it apparently IS computer-generated live audio! Amazing :)

There are some syncing services between radio and streaming - for example here in Uruguay we like the local radio commentary, and so do the Brazilians and Argentineans, we might watch a match on tv with the sound turned off and radio turned on.

Probably too late now that the conversation has moved on, but if you happen to see this could you point me to one of these syncing services? A very quick google search didn't turn up anything. Thanks.
