Auto Sleep Blue back Captions

Captions are the subtitles of the dialogue and narration of television programs. For prerecorded programs, program dialogue can be arranged into captions in advance. It’s possible to caption a live program by using a process called real-time captioning, which creates captions instantly. Professional reporters using a machine shorthand system and computer for translation into English normally do real- time captioning.

Captioning is an effective system for the hearing-impaired, and it can also aid in teaching language skills.

The picture at left shows a typical caption.

Captions

Closed captioning is a process, which converts the audio portion of a television program into written words, which then appear on the television screen in a form similar to subtitles. Closed captions allow viewers to read the dialogue and narration of television programs.

Poor reception conditions are encountered:

• IGNITION:

Picture may flutter, drift, and suffer from black spots or horizontal streaking. Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills, and other electrical appliances.

• GHOSTS:

Ghosts are caused when the TV signal splits and follows two paths. One is the direct path and the other is reflected off tall buildings, hills or other objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve reception.

• SNOW:

If your receiver is located at the weak, fringe area of a TV signal, your picture may be marred by small dots. It may be necessary to install a special antenna to improve the picture.

An old, bad, or illegally recorded tape is played.

Strong, random signals from a car or airplane interference with the TV signal. The signal from the antenna is weak.
