My TV is showing captions that are
mi
sspelled
You are watching a live broadcast and spelling errors made by the closed
captioning production company pass through uncorrected. A prerecorded
program will not show any misspelled words because of the normal time
available for editing the captions.
My TV will not show the text in its entirety
or there is a delay of what is being said.
My caption are scrambled with white boxes
on the screen.
My program guide listed a TV show as being
closed captioned, but none of the captions
were displayed.
Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actua l dialogue are
common for live broadcast . Most captioning production comp
an
ies
c
an
display a dialogue to maximu m of 220 words per minute . If a dialogue
exceeds that rate. Selective editing is used to ensur e that the caption s
remain up-to-date with the current TV screen dialog .
Interference caused by building, power lines, thunderstorms, etc. may
cause scrambled or incomplete captions to appear.
Broadcasters may at times use a time compression process to the actual
program so that additional advertisting time can be given.Since the decoder
cannot read the compressed information, captions will be lost.
The videotape was either an illegal copy or the tape duplicating company
accidentallyleft out the captioning signals during the co pying process.
Closed Caption Problem
Possible Remedy
My prerecorded videotape does not show
any caption. The tape box mentions it being
closed captioned.
