Closed Captions - LG 19LH20R Owner's Manual

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 televi-
sion programs.
Using Closed Captions
Captions are the subtitles of the dialogue and narration of television programs. For prere-
corded 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.
