Closed Captioning Not Provided

I turn it off when watching debates or talk shows: Rushed ?live? captioning is inevitably error-prone, and mentally copy editing the captions becomes distracting. Otherwise, though, I enjoy the company of the ever-moving text. When captions aren?t available, I find myself rewinding repeatedly to catch mumbled dialogue or having to turn up the volume to combat the air conditioner?s white noise. If the synchronization is slightly off, captions can spoil the suspense of a jury verdict or a reality contest elimination, but that?s a small price to pay for clarity. And with all the real estate on today?s monster screens, there?s plenty of room for words.
