Captions are the subtitles of the dialogue and narration of televi- sion 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. Real-time captioning is normally done by professional reporters using a machine shorthand system and computer for translation into English.

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