Television is a medium for transmitting moving images and sound, used for entertainment, news, education, and advertising. Television content includes everything from scripted shows, news broadcasts, movies, and documentaries to reality TV and live events. With the rise of digital platforms and streaming services, television content is now accessible across a variety of devices, including smart TVs, computers, tablets, and smartphones.

Captioning for television is critical for accessibility, especially for viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing. By adding captions to television programs, sound effects, and dialogue are transcribed and displayed as text, ensuring that all viewers can fully understand and enjoy the content. Closed captions (which can be turned on or off) are commonly used in TV broadcasts to meet accessibility standards and comply with legal requirements. Professional captioning services ensure that captions are accurate, well-timed, and formatted correctly, enhancing both the viewer experience and accessibility. Moreover, captions also benefit non-native speakers and those in noisy environments, ensuring television content is accessible to a wider audience.

5 Issues with Closed Captioning Your Own Videos

Close captioning is a great way to make videos more accessible to viewers who are hard of hearing or deaf. Unfortunately, it can often be tricky to implement with your own videos, and there are plenty of issues that you may encounter. This article will discuss 5 of the most common issues associated with close captioning your own videos, so you can be better prepared for the task.

Issue 1: Finding the Time to Do It
Close captioning is a very time-consuming process and it is often difficult to find time to do it in your own schedule. Not only does it take time to actually add the captions, but you also have to watch the video while creating the captions, which can take significantly longer than the actual captioning. It’s a good idea to break the video down into smaller parts, so you can work on it in more manageable chunks, but it still takes a lot of time to get the job done.

The FCC Cracks Down on Quality Standards

Discount companies are using shortcuts and claim high accuracy at low costs, which sounds pretty good, right? But the FCC isn’t looking for “pretty good”—it’s mandating perfection.

FCC Captioning Quality Improvements

The FCC unanimously voted to adopt new standards for closed captioning on television programming. The new rules are meant to ensure the best efforts of video programming distributors to improve closed captioning quality. The new standards focus on quality improvement to post-produced closed captioning in four specific areas: accuracy, synchronicity, completeness and placement.
