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.

vision 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 nor-
mally done by professional reporters using a machine shorthand

1. Poor reception conditions are encountered:
• IGNITION:
Picture may flutter, drift, suffer from black
spots, or horizontal streaking. Usually
caused by interference from automobile
ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical
drills, and other electrical appliances.
• GHOSTS:
Ghosts are caused when the TV signal
splits and follows two paths. One is the
direct path and the other is reflected off
tall buildings, hills or other objects.
Changing the direction or position of the
antenna may improve reception.
• SNOW:
If your receiver is located at the weak,
fringe area of a TV signal, your picture
may be marred by small dots. It may be
necessary to install a special antenna to
improve the picture.
2. An old, bad, or illegally recorded tape is being played.
3. Strong, random signals from a car or airplane interfere with
the TV signal.
4. The signal from the antenna is weak.
5. The program wasn't captioned when it was produced, trans-
mitted, or taped.
