Closed captions were originally developed to provide an equivalent television viewing experience for people who are d/Deaf or hard-of-hearing. Time-synced text is the best alternative to audio for many of these viewers, of which there are 48 million in the United States alone.
Quite simply, closed captions allow viewers with hearing loss to consume your videos, which broadens your audience, gives more people access to information, and demonstrates a commitment to digital inclusion.
