Captions provide access to multimedia for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. C <proposed_addition>In general, an onscreen menu on newer televisions allows closed captioning to be turned on or off. Open captions, in contrast, are an integral part of a transmission that cannot be turned off by the viewer. </proposed_addition> From: http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/0,,sid9_gci864467,00.html .Access empowers people .barriers disable them. www.eramp.com
