Broadcast Captioning
Broadcast Captioning, or closed captioning, was developed to provide access to deaf and hard-of-hearing television viewers. A captioner transmits text from a remote location through a stenograph machine, captioning software, and a modem to an encoder at the station or production site.

Online Captioning v. Offline Captioning*
Online captioning is performed by a broadcast captioner during live programming, such as news and sports, or pre-recorded syndicated shows uplinked to a satellite. Offline captioning is performed by captioning editors for taped programming such as sitcoms and movies. The primary difference is the turnaround time and the skills required. Online captions are done in realtime, instantaneously, whereas offline captions can be produced in days, weeks, or even months in advance. Most online captioners began training and working as court reporters, learning a shorthand theory on a stenograph machine and then honing their realtime skills to the level required for broadcast captioning. A great number of these steno-captioners work remotely, which can be of great benefit to their clients as they are available day and night as well as holidays and weekends. Additionally, remote captioners can provide captioning of any program or event regardless of its location.
*NJCaptions does not offer offline captioning services.
