How Closed Captions Work

Guest: Theresa Raymond, Closed Caption Coordinator, BYUtv Have you ever wondered how closed captioning works? Is someone sitting at a keyboard at that very moment typing the words you see on the screen? Theresa Raymond of BYUtv happens to work in the same building, so we brought her over to give us an inside look at how it works. We started with the most intense part of her team’s job – doing captions for live television shows like BYU SportsNation which airs weekdays at noon Eastern on BYUtv.
