RE: collated transcript technique

I am working on the glossary right now.

Yvette says:

"I don't think this is quite done yet. It needs links to the definitions of
audio descriptions, captions, closed captions, etc."

 

Our glossary does not have a distinction between closed and open captions.
I propose the following addition to the definition of caption in the

captions 

Synchronized transcripts of dialogue and important sound effects. 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.
