[Dannie Heinzen]

Someregions use subtitles for both the same language as the audio and for the translation. Sometimes they are distinguished as intralingual subtitles (same language) and interlingual subtitles (different language).

Subtitles are implemented the same way as captions. Subtitles/interlingual subtitles are usually only the spoken audio (for people who can hear the audio but do not know the spoken language). They can be a translation of the caption content, including non-speech audio information.

Live captions are usually done by professional real-time captioners or Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) providers. Live captions can be done in-person or remotely. That is, the person doing the captioning/CART does not have to be at the same location as the live action; they can be doing the live captions by listening to the audio over a phone or Internet connection.

Caption files are used by some media players to provide interactive transcripts. Interactive transcripts highlight text phrases as they are spoken. Users can select text in the transcript and go to that point in the video. Some players provide interactive transcript functionality.

Several free and fee-based tools create automatic captions that you can use as a starting point. For example, a common video website includes automatic captions and tools for you to edit the captions. You will need to edit automatic captions for accuracy.

If you already have transcription of the audio into text, there are free tools that will generate a captions file with timestamps. You will need to edit it for line breaks as described in another page of this resource, Transcribing Audio to Text: More on Captions.

Hi, I am having a similar problem but the solution provided does not work for me I am afraid as I need to embed the closed captions as the subtitles before sending out a recording. The auto-transcription does not understand the speaker's accent or speech pattern and produces gobbledygook. I have therefore typed closed captions live and saved both the video recording and the closed caption file.

The video has then been trimmed and I have edited the closed caption file to match. I can re-play the video myself and manually add the correct subtitle file but need to send out the video complete with subtitles - I don't want the audience to have to manually add the subtitles themselves.

I was having the same problem. Turns out you have to choose "Record to the Cloud" in order to see the captioning in the video. I had been recording locally on my computer and captions were not showing.

Hi, I am using Squarespace 7.1, and just realized that the captions for my slideshow are cut off. I've Googled this issue and have tried out a few different CSS codes that others have supplied to folks with the same problem. I've tried installing them both on the header of the page and the Custom CSS section, and neither have worked. How can I fix this? Thank You!

Okay, so that did work, which is incredible, thank you! I had to go in and delete some leftover coding for it to take effect. I did notice, however, that if I switch the slideshow type to "reel" and select the "full bleed" option, or if I switch the slideshow type to "full" and select the "full bleed" option, the code doesn't seem to work. Is there something I can adjust so that the captions aren't cut off for the other formatting choices? Thank you again for your help.

to stop the slideshow from getting cropped on mobile, and it isn't working. Is there a way to combine the code for the caption and code for the cropping?

I also noticed that the code you supplied in your response above works to fix the caption cropping for the first image, presumably because the caption is shorter, but it still cuts off the longer captions.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you again.

This is what the images look like on my actual phone:

And then this is the 'mobile preview' in editor mode on SquareSpace:

Let me know if you need any more details, and/or if you know where I went wrong in my code?

To clarify, when the gallery is set to "Slideshow: Full," the first image caption shows on mobile, but the other captions are cut off. When the gallery is set to "Slideshow: Reel," all of the image captions are cut off, and the code doesn't work--maybe because there's incorrect specifiers in the code? I'm not sure.

Hi,

I'm having the same issue. Our captions are getting cut off on mobile. We tried all the code suggested in this thread from 2021. Does anyone have a suggestion for our site?

Full captions look great on desktop, but get cut off in mobile view. Any updates from the community on how to fix this bug? It would be so great to be able to make the section longer and show more of the caption.

Captions (subtitles) are available on videos where the owner has added them, and on some videos where YouTube automatically adds them. You can change the default settings for captions on your computer or mobile device.

Since then, captions have opened the world of television to people who are deaf and hard-of-hearing. At first, special broadcasts of some of the more popular programs were made accessible through the Public Broadcasting Service. Today, news, public affairs, and sports programming are captioned on network, public, and cable television, on the internet, and at movie theaters. Captions are no longer a novelty: they have become a necessity. Many commercial vendors and some specialized types of software now make it easy for individuals, groups, and schools to create captions.

Closed captioning is available on digital television sets, including high-definition television sets, manufactured after July 1, 2002. Some digital captioning menus allow the viewer to control the caption display, including font style, text size and color, and background color.

Although most real-time captioning is more than 98 percent accurate, the audience will see occasional errors. The captioner may mishear a word, hear an unfamiliar word, or have an error in the software dictionary.

Electronic newsroom captions (ENR) are created from a news script computer or teleprompter and are commonly used for live newscasts. Only material that is scripted can be captioned using this technique. Therefore, spontaneous commentary, live field reports, breaking news, and sports and weather updates may not be captioned using ENR, and real-time captioning is needed.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 requires businesses and public accommodations to ensure that individuals with disabilities are not excluded from or denied services because of the absence of auxiliary aids. Captions are considered one type of auxiliary aid. Since the passage of the ADA, the use of captioning has expanded. Entertainment, educational, informational, and training materials are captioned for deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences at the time they are produced and distributed.

The Television Decoder Circuitry Act of 1990 requires that all televisions larger than 13 inches sold in the United States after July 1993 have a special built-in decoder that enables viewers to watch closed-captioned programming. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 directs the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to adopt rules requiring closed captioning of most television programming.

Congress requires video program distributors (cable operators, broadcasters, satellite distributors, and other multichannel video programming distributors) to close caption their TV programs. FCC rules ensure that viewers have full access to programming, address captioning quality, and provide guidance to video programming distributors and programmers. The rules require that captions be accurate, synchronous, complete, and properly placed. In addition, the rules distinguish between prerecorded, live, and near-live programming, and explain how the standards apply to each type of programming, recognizing the greater challenges involved with captioning live or near-live programming.

Some advertisements, public service announcements, non-English-language programs (with the exception of Spanish programs), locally produced and distributed non-news programming, textual programs, early-morning programs, and nonvocal musical programs are exempt from captioning.

Researchers are studying caption features, speeds, and the effects of visual impairments on reading captions. This research will help the broadcast television industry understand which caption features should be retained and which new features should be adopted to better serve consumers. Other research is examining the potential for captions as a learning tool for acquiring English-language and reading skills. These studies are looking at how captions can reinforce vocabulary, improve literacy, and help people learn the expressions and speech patterns of spoken English.
