Customizable Captioning
Also known as: Personalized Captions, Adaptive Captioning
Captioning systems that allow users to modify how captions are displayed, including visual styling, content detail, and the representation of paralinguistic speech features such as emotion, loudness, and pitch. Unlike standard closed captions that offer only basic font and size options, customizable captioning gives d/Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing users control over how non-verbal speech information is conveyed typographically, improving comprehension of speaker intent and emotional tone.
