captions

Captions are on-screen text that appears alongside video or images to provide additional information, clarify dialogue, or describe sounds. They help viewers understand content when audio isn’t available or clear, such as in noisy environments or for those who are deaf or hard of hearing. Captions can include spoken words, background sounds, and other relevant details to enhance comprehension. They are essential tools for accessibility and can also assist viewers in understanding content in different languages or dialects. Overall, captions make media more inclusive and easier to follow.
