3. The key types of the close captioning solutions are:
• Real-time captioning
In the real-time captioning, the professional captioners create live captions as
the audio is spoken. Hence, real-time captioning focuses on conferences, live
news broadcasts, and live events.
• Offline captioning
The offline captioning uses pre-recorded content where the captions are
edited and in sync with the video part. Hence, offline captions aim to offer
high-quality control and high accuracy levels.

4. Any close captioning process involves the following steps:
Transcription process
The first step is transcribing audio content into text by professional captioning experts.
These professionals can use high-quality speech recognition software to increase the
speed of the close captioning process.
Seamless synchronization
The second step is the seamless synchronization of the captions with the video part of the
content. Here, the text is synchronized with the video so that the captions can match the
spoken words. Further, managing speaker changes, pauses, and timing is essential.
Final editing and quality control
Finally, the third step is to complete the final edit and manage the quality control. Here, the
close captioning experts ensure proper timing, proper grammar, right spellings, and
accurate captions.

5. After creating the close captions, it is essential to pay attention to
the popular file formats. These are:
• SRT (SubRip)
It is the popular caption file format offering dedicated formatting
details, time codes, and text.
• WebVVT (Web Video Text Tracks)
It is another popular caption file format offering timed text tracks
along with video content on the web.

6. The key benefits of the close captioning solutions are:
• Inclusive content
Closed captions make the content highly inclusive for people
suffering from different impairments.
• Detailed content understanding
Not only for people suffering from impairments, but close
captions help in detailed content understanding.
