Media / Multimedia | | English term or phrase: subtitle vs. closed captioning | La differenza mi è chiara, ma li trovo sempre tradotti entrambi con "sottotitoli".
Conoscete un termine italiano più preciso per "closed captioning"?

Most of the world does not distinguish captions from subtitles. In the United States and Canada, these terms do have different meanings, however: "subtitles" assume the viewer can hear but cannot understand the language or accent, or the speech is not entirely clear, so they only transcribe dialogue and some on-screen text. "Captions" aim to describe to the deaf and hard of hearing all significant audio content—spoken dialogue and non-speech information such as the identity of speakers and, occasionally, their manner of speaking—along with music or sound effects using words or symbols.
