What is

Closed Captioning?

CLOSED CAPTIONNING IS A LEGAL REQUIREMENT

Closed captioning displays the audio portion of a television program as text on the TV screen,

providing a critical link to news, entertainment and information for individuals who are deaf or hard-of-hearing.

Congress requires video programming distributors (VPDs) - cable operators, broadcasters, satellite distributors

and other multi-channel video programming distributors - to close caption their TV programs.

BENEFITS OF CLOSED CAPTIONING

Greater Accessibility

Closed captioning will allow not only the deaf and/or hard of hearing learners to access your content, but also those who use English as a second language

Indexing & Searching

Use closed captions or transcripts as meta data to make your video text-searchable, and to make web-embedded video search engine friendly.

Viewer Flexibility

With the increasing popularity of mobile devices, viewers may be in environments where access to the audio is limited. Closed captioning allows them to view content whether they are in the library, at a concert or on a noisy bus.
