Include the sounds that tell the story.
Create timed captions that convey speech, speaker changes and relevant audio information for viewers who rely on text.
Closed Captioning
Captions represent the programme’s audible information, including speech and relevant non-speech cues. The caption style should define speaker identification, sound descriptions, music treatment and text placement.
Review considerations
Watch the captioned programme with sound muted as well as with sound on. Check whether speaker changes and significant sounds remain understandable without adding unnecessary visual clutter.
