Closed captioning (CC) (known as Subtitles in the United Kingdom) allows people who are deaf and hard of hearing, learning a new language, beginning readers, in a noisy environment, or otherwise to read a transcript or dialog of the audio portion of a video, film, or other presentation. As the video plays, text captions are displayed that transcribe, although not always verbatim, speech and other relevant sounds.
