Closed captioning (CC) and subtitling are both processes of displaying text on a television, video screen, or other visual display to provide additional or interpretive information.

Both are typically used as a transcription of the audio portion of a program as it occurs (either or in edited form), sometimes including descriptions of non-speech elements.

Other uses have been to provide a textual alternative language translation of a presentation's primary audio language that is usually burned-in (or "open") to the video and unselectable.

HTML5 defines subtitles as a "transcription or translation of the dialogue...

when sound is available but not understood" by the viewer (for example, dialogue in a foreign language) and captions as a "transcription or translation of the dialogue, sound effects, relevant musical cues, and other relevant audio information...

when sound is unavailable or not clearly audible" (for example, when audio is muted or the viewer is deaf or hard of hearing).

A workflow consists of an orchestrated and repeatable pattern of business activity enabled by the systematic organization of resources into processes that transform materials, provide services, or process information.

It can be depicted as a sequence of operations, declared as work of a person or group, an organization of staff, or one or more simple or complex mechanisms.

In signal processing, data compression, source coding, or bit-rate reduction involves encoding information using fewer bits than the original representation.

Compression can be either lossy or lossless.

Lossless compression reduces bits by identifying and eliminating statistical redundancy.

No information is lost in lossless compression.

Lossy compression reduces bits by removing unnecessary or less important information.

A screencast is a digital recording of computer screen output, also known as a video screen capture, often containing audio narration.

The term screencast compares with the related term screenshot; whereas screenshot generates a single picture of a computer screen, a screencast is essentially a movie of the changes over time that a user sees on a computer screen, enhanced with audio narration.
