Closed Caption
Any programming that is recorded before broadcast (not live) is required to be captioned in a post-production, or off-line setting. A trained writer will transcribe the audio of the program, including sound effects and music. The transcript is sent to an experienced caption editor, who will then transform the text into captions using captioning software. The captions are then timed to match the spoken audio perfectly and are strategically placed on the screen to avoid graphics or people’s faces.
