Closed

Caption

Problem

Possible

Remedy

My

TV

is

showing

captions

that

are

misspelled.

You

are

watching

a

live

broadcast

and

spelling

errors

made

by

the

closed

captioning

production

company

may

pass

through

uncorrect-

ed.

A

prerecorded

program

will

not

show

any

misspelled

words

because

of

the

normal

time

available

for

editing

the

captions.

My

TV

will

not

show

the

text

in

its

entirety

or

there

is

a

delay

of

what

is

being

said.

Captions

that

are

delayed

a

few

seconds

behind

the

actual

dialogue

are

common

for

live

broadcasts.

Most

captioning

production

compa-

nies

can

display

a

dialogue

to

a

maximum

of

220

words

per

minute.

If

a

dialogue

exceeds

that

rate,

selective

editing

is

used

to

insure

that

the

captions

remain

up-to-date

with

the

current

TV

screen

dialogue.

My

captions

are

scrambled

with

white

boxes

on

the

TV

screen.

Interference

caused

by

building,

power

lines,

thunderstorms,

etc.

may

cause

scrambled

or

incomplete

captions

to

appear.

My

program

guide

listed

a

TV

show

as

being

closed

captioned

but

none

of

the

captions

were

displayed.

Broadcasters

may

at

times

use

a

time

compression

process

to

the

actual

program

so

that

additional

advertising

time

can

be

given.

Since

the

decoder

cannot

read

the

compressed

information,

captions

will

be

lost.

My

prerecorded

videotape

does

not

show

any

captions.

The

tape

box

mentions

it

being

closed

captioned.

The

videotape

was

either

an

illegal

copying

or

the

tape

duplicating

company

accidentally

left

out

the

captioning

signals

during

the

copying

process.

My

TV

screen

shows

a

black

box

on

certain

channels.

You

are
