-We are a rather new team (first occurrence at 30C3), with roots in the Selfnet e.V. from Stuttgart, and we try to do live subtitling of the congress talks, as well as provide (more accurate) subtitles to the conference talks recordings afterwards.

 During the talks we try to catch as much as possible of the spoken words (and sometimes actions) using live transcription in teams or using voice recognition.
