Caption Customization

The ability for viewers to adjust caption properties to match their individual preferences and needs. Caption customization can encompass visual attributes like font size, color, and positioning, as well as content-level attributes like level of detail, expressiveness, and sound representation style. Research with Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities shows that caption preferences vary significantly based on hearing history, linguistic background, cultural identity, and viewing context, making customization essential for equitable media access.
