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.
