Using Closed Captions

As previously mentioned, each new course released on the Online Training Library includes transcripts of each movie, which are usually added anywhere between a few days to two weeks after the course is released. If you see the little CC icon in the course's Details page, that lets you know that the course has transcripts added. And again, closed captioning has multiple purposes. First, it allows our members with hearing impairments to be able to follow along with our training, but closed captioning can also be convenient if you're in an environment where you can't listen the audio, or if you don't have headphones and don't want to bother people around you. In those cases you can simply turn your computer's volume off, turn on closed captioning, and you'll still be able to learn. Now you can turn closed captioning on and off in two ways. First, you can click the On button here in the Course Details page header area and with that selected, all movies will play with closed captions on.

Now, even if I have closed captions turned off when I close this player window, notice it's still turned on here in the header. So if were to play another movie right now, close captions would still be on. (Male Speaker: Alrighty, let's recap. You can speed--) So I will go ahead and close this window and turn off closed captioning. And now when I open a movie-- (Male Speaker: As we discussed earlier--) You can see closed captions are turned off by default. But again, I can turn them on at anytime by clicking the CC button. And that's how you work with closed captions in any course that includes them.
