Who uses captioning?
Captioning was developed to help deaf and hard-of-hearing people understand audio cues in television programming. Today, people who are learning English as a second language as well as those who are trying to improve their literacy skills take advantage of captioned video. Captions are also popular in restaurants, gyms, and other public places where outside noise impedes viewers’ understanding of televised programming.
