Treehouse Closed Captioning

Speaking of web accessibility, is there a way to contribute to the closed captioning on Treehouse courses? I'm not sure if the videos are transcribed by human or voice recognition tech, but it is often way off. I LOVE Treehouse and can't speak more highly of the service, but the subtitles often leave much to be desired.

I almost always keep closed captioning on because I find it easier to pay attention when I read along. It also helps to ensure I'm not missing anything that was said too quickly or unintelligibly.
