If you struggle to hear while streaming the latest blockbuster on your TV or talking on your phone, captioning can help. Captions are words on a screen that serve as a substitute and\/or a supplement to the audio, which allow D\/deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals to understand speech and non-speech better.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Types of Captions<\/span><\/h2>\n

1) Closed captions <\/strong>are when the words on the screen include the spoken dialogue, background sounds and speaker changes (e.g.,\u201cintense vocals,\u201d \u201chiss,\u201d \u201cbuzz,\u201d etc.). The viewer can turn the captions off or on.<\/p>\n

2) Open captions<\/strong> are the same as closed captions, but the words on the screen are embedded in the video file or media player and cannot be turned off or altered.<\/p>\n

3) Subtitles<\/strong> are not the same thing as captions. Subtitles translate the audio into another language, and the words on the screen do not contain the background sounds or notifications for speaker changes.<\/p>\n

How to Use Captioning in Your Life<\/span><\/h2>\n

6) At the Violet Crown Movie Theater in Santa Fe\u2014This theater offers open caption screenings for new releases, and you will not need to use a captioning device.
