Operation
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 dialogue and narration
of television programs.
Using Closed Captions
Captions are the subtitles of the dialogue and narration
of television programs. For prerecorded programs, pro-
gram dialogue can be arranged into captions in advance,
its possible to caption a live program by using a process
called reaFtime captioning, which creates captions
instantly. ReaFtime captioning is nerma]iy done by pro-
fessiona_ reporters using a machine shorthand system
and computer for translm
tion into EngIish_
Captioning is an effective
system for the hearing-
impaired, and it can also aid
in teaching language skills.
