Closed captioning is a process which converts the audio portion of a television program into written words which then
appear as subtitles on the television screen. Closed captions allow viewers to read the dialogue and narration of
television programs.
Using Closed Captions
Captions are the subtitles of the dialogue and narration of television programs. For prerecorded programs, program
dialogue can be arranged into captions in advance. Its possible to caption a live program by using a process called
real-time captioning, which creates captions instantly. Real-time captioning is normally done by professional
reporters using a machine shorthand system and computer for translation into English.
Captioning is an effective system for the hearing-impaired, and it can also aid in teaching language skills.
