Closed Captions
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 dia
logue 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.
