Censoring closed captions when the actual audio is not censored discriminates against people with hearing impairments. Apparently, I'm not the only one who feels this way. #ClosedCaptioning #HearingImpaired

The closed captioning on NFL Prime Thursday Night Football SUCKS! It's utter jibberish. How disrespectful to those who rely on CC to follow the action on and off the field.

For anyone who doesn’t know, this is what you wear if you need a Closed Captioning device at a U.S. movie. They’re bulky, they have a leash, I seriously doubt they were cleaned, and they were showing Marvels subtitles when I’m here to see The Holdovers, so had to be fixed. #ClosedCaptioning #FilmSky

Dear #ClosedCaptioning companies or whatever…
I know I’m older and all, but when I’m watching stuff on my phone, you all KNOW the screen is small, so can you PLEASE also caption the stuff we’re supposed to read from the character’s phone, tablet, computer screens, etc.?! I can’t read it fast enough.

I am having trouble keeping my cool at the moment over an inconsequential beef I'm having in my own head between myself and whoever or whatever composed these Closed Captions and thought that a quotation mark could suitably replace an apostrophe at every (or any) instance.

Really @cozitv.com? Having your logo large enough to kick captioning to the top of the screen -across actors faces- for the entire show is more important than how deaf & hearing impaired experience your programming. Do better! #closedcaptioning #deaf #hearingimpaired

Most truly deaf folks are completely illiterate – they never got the chance to learn before losing their hearing!
CC is for old folks; Millennial veterans of Iraq/Afghan wars; when those of us on the spectrum can’t stand the human voice; etc

Americans put subtitles on to comprehend British television
Americans are putting substitles on again: they watch a lot of British television but don't understand what anyone is saying.

What’s changed with closed captioning? It isn’t a true transcript anymore. Chunks of dialogue get left off. It was never like that before. AI maybe? Not liking that.

Someone tell Bluesky to fix the issues with subtitle/closed captioning file compatibility. The timing in them can be completely correct and it will just ignore it from the start and put everything out of sync. Had this happen twice and it is definitely not a problem on my end. #ClosedCaptioning

Absolutely! Creative closed captioning adds so much to the atmosphere! 🌌😂 "Ominous whooshing" really sets the mood! Keep enjoying those epic moments! #SFF #ClosedCaptioning
50. I love when the whoever is doing the closed captioning for a series or film gets creative with their descriptions. [Ominous whooshing] is a classic. [Squelching] is particularly effective in horror and SFF. (Ew.) And there’s so many others that crack me up. It enhances the viewing experience.
