  1. Under CBC professional standards, what is the minimum acceptable real-time captioning accuracy rate for broadcast work?

    Answer: 95%

    NCRA and CBC standards set 95% accuracy as the minimum threshold for professional real-time broadcast captioning.

  2. A captioner learns that a competing captioner has been misrepresenting their CBC certification status to clients. The ethical response is to:

    Answer: Report the misrepresentation to NCRA through appropriate channels

    Professional ethics require reporting credential misrepresentation to the certifying body, not taking unilateral public action.

  3. Which of the following is considered a conflict of interest for a broadcast captioner under professional ethics guidelines?

    Answer: Having a financial stake in a story being captioned

    A financial interest in the subject matter being captioned creates a conflict of interest that could compromise impartiality.

  4. A captioner is offered a gift by a broadcast client after completing a long-term contract. According to ethics guidelines, the captioner should:

    Answer: Decline if the gift could create an appearance of bias or obligation

    Gifts that could create an appearance of bias or future obligation should be declined to maintain professional integrity.

  5. What does the duty of 'fidelity' mean in the context of CBC professional ethics?

    Answer: Accurately representing spoken content without alteration or omission

    Fidelity in captioning means faithfully and accurately conveying spoken content exactly as delivered.

  6. A network requests that a captioner sign a broad nondisclosure agreement covering all content captioned for them indefinitely. The captioner should:

    Answer: Review with legal counsel before signing, particularly regarding scope and duration

    Reviewing NDAs with legal counsel protects the captioner from agreements that could unduly restrict their professional practice.

  7. During a live broadcast, the anchor uses a term the captioner suspects may be a slur. The captioner should:

    Answer: Caption the term as spoken and flag it in a post-broadcast report if warranted

    Accurate captioning requires rendering the term as spoken; any concerns should be reported post-broadcast through proper channels.
