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.

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 real-time captioning, which creates captions
instantly. Real-time captioning is normally done by pro-
fessional reporters using a machine shorthand system
and computer for transla-
tion into English.
Captioning is an effective
system for the hearing-
impaired, and it can also
aid in teaching language
skills.

• Not all TV broadcasts include closed caption signals.
• Sometimes TV stations broadcast four different cap-
tion signals on the same channel. By selecting Mode1

Mode1 is usually the signal with the captions, while
another mode might show demonstration or program-
ming information.
