Haha. Wasn't close, eh. Damn, yet another brand new learn after all these years. Two today, Troy Taylor and closed caption, arrived as almost one. Closed caption didn't surface in all my cc searching, and i've never heard of it before. Subtitles i like, methinks it would take me some time to get used to closed caption.
Closed Captioning VS Subtitles: Differences & When to Use Them
by Ishan Beri

The difference between closed captioning and subtitles is that while subtitles are intended for those who cannot understand the dialogue, closed captions are intended for times when the entire audio component can’t be heard by the viewer.
Unlike subtitles, however, captions translate all the words and sound into text such as background sounds, speaker distinction and any other information that the audio would have communicated. Subtitles, on the other hand, assume that the audience can hear the audio, but cannot understand the dialogue. Therefore, they don’t need to include any background noises or point out which character is speaking, because this will be evident in the audio itself.
The other difference between subtitles and closed captions is that subtitles are usually developed before the release of the video in question. They are transcribed in time with the audio and saved accordingly. Captions, however, can be broadcasted live on television and are often being typed out and encoded as a show is being aired. In some cases, captions might even be placed in a different position on the screen, to prevent any obstruction. Subtitles, having been produced beforehand, cannot be moved in this way.
Closed captions, while useful, can also be divisive. Some viewers reportedly find them distracting and obstructive to their entertainment. Even though studies suggest that a continued use of closed captioning will not only make your brain accustomed to them but will also improve your literacy rate, there are those who just can’t get used to them.
Despite what some opinions might suggest, research indicates that Gen Z is more inclined to use closed captioning than any generation before them. For individuals with disabilities including Autism and ADHD, closed captions can improve both their focus and their retention of information. People with no disability also found them beneficial to their learning, with a majority opting to use them regularly.
The two brand news, plus the reminder that via our 500 million year old evolutionary brain we all are genetically conditioned to appreciate beauty, It's been a big day already. LOL. Beauty!
