The full reference is: Hong, Richang and Wang, Meng and Xu, Mengdi and Yan, Shuicheng and Chua, Tat-Seng. Dynamic Captioning: Video Accessibility Enhancement for Hearing Impairment, http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1874013 OR http://lms.comp.nus.edu.sg/papers/media/2010/mm10-richang.pdf The authors did a user study with deaf users for comparing the static way of captioning and this dynamic way and according to this study, users had a clear preference for the latter.
