Captioning is the process of displaying text on a television, video screen, or other visual display to provide additional or interpretive information, enhancing the viewing experience for audiences with hearing impairments, language barriers, or those in noisy environments. With the rise of online video platforms like [[youtube-com|YouTube]] and [[netflix-com|Netflix]], captioning has become an essential feature, offering a range of benefits including improved comprehension, increased engagement, and enhanced accessibility. According to a study by [[verbit-ai|Verbit AI]], 80% of viewers use captions at least some of the time, with 40% using them to improve their understanding of the content. The history of captioning dates back to the 1970s, when the first closed captioning systems were developed by [[nbc|NBC]] and [[abc|ABC]]. Today, captioning is a mandatory requirement for many broadcast networks, including [[cbs|CBS]] and [[fox|Fox]], with the [[federal-communications-commission|Federal Communications Commission (FCC)]] regulating the use of captions in the United States. As technology continues to evolve, captioning is becoming increasingly sophisticated, with the use of [[artificial-intelligence|artificial intelligence (AI)]] and [[machine-learning|machine learning (ML)]] to improve accuracy and efficiency.
