closed captioning
Dialogue shown written
Closed captioning is text displayed on a screen that transcribes dialogue and describes relevant sounds—music, laughter, applause, sound effects—for viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Unlike open captions, which are always visible, closed captions can be turned on or off by the viewer: Turn on closed captioning so we don't wake the baby.
