Audio Described version of [sound of subtitles], 2021

Closed Caption is for viewers who cannot hear audio and includes sound effects.

Subtitle is for viewers who can hear audio but cannot understand the language and does not include audio effects.

Standard subtitles are intended for ones who can hear audio but Subtitles for Deaf and Hard of Hearing include the information about background noise and speaker changes along with the translation of the script.

Open Caption means it is permanently embedded into the video itself- so it cannot be turned off by the viewer, but that means its style/size/colour can be determined by the creator ahead of time.
