Close Captioning is a system of putting subtitles on video programming. Close-captioning is "hidden" unless decoded by a special chip in your monitor. In the "old days" we used to use special decoder boxes that attached to our TV's. Then a law was passed that required TV's with screens over 13 inches to have a built-in decoder chip.
The movement is a little bounce from left to right. (If you are right handed.)
CLOSE-CAPTIONED:
Sample sentence: Is your TV close captioned?
There is a sign that means "captions" or "captioning." This version is based on and looks a lot like the sign for "STORY." But there is a subtle difference. The wrists bend slightly and the hands angle as if applying cellophane tape to a wall. This sign carries a meaning of "sentences on the screen" or "captioning."
