Other Functions
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.
