Today, closed captioning is done using computer software that automatically generates a transcript of the audio. There are a number of benefits to using closed captioner services. For viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing, closed captioning provides a way to follow along with the audio portion of a program. Closed captioning also benefits those who speak English as a second language, as it provides a written record of the audio portion of a program.

Closed captioning is also available on many cable and satellite channels, as well as on many streaming video services.
