What is Captioning?
Captioning
is the process of making the audio portion of a video,
live broadcast, meeting or conference visible in text
form.
Real-time captioning is the ability of a court reporter
to write simultaneously with the audio encoding the
text into shorthand form. Then the shorthand text
is translated by a computer into normal text and sent
to the television or monitor. The text appears, within
seconds of the spoken word, on the screen. Real-time
captioning allows live programs such as, sporting
events, live broadcast, meetings and unscripted portions
of a news broadcast to be captioned as the event takes
place.

Captioning is the process of encoding
the captions so that the captions appear only when
decoded by an internal or external decoder.
