Abstract
A method for automatically delaying playback of a message at a captioning device may include obtaining, at the captioning device, a request to playback of the message. The method may also include, in response to the request, automatically delaying the playback of the message at the captioning device in order to allow the captioning system to receive the audio of the message from a beginning of the playback of the audio of the message.
