RECOMMENDED LANGUAGE:
Captioning: Captions are synchronized text equivalents for audio
information. Captions are similar to subtitles in that they convey the
content of spoken dialogue, but also include text for non-spoken
information such as important sound effects, music, laughter, and
speaker identification and location. Captions should not obscure or
obstruct relevant or key information. In some countries captions are
called subtitles.
