Can Any One Pls Clarify The Differences Between Captioning And Subtitling?

[SiiiiiimpleMe]

I assumed that captioning the same as subtitling, but many sources showed that captioning is specifically intended for people who are deaf or hard of hearing...

I believe sub titles are just dialogue - captioning details music, and other events also.

[SiiiiiimpleMe]

Oh, that explains. Those people need to see more details rather than just dialogues. Thanks Crapatcryptics

being deaf - - I wdnt say the difference is intended for me but is more general

agree Crappa

and my example is- to illustrate, excoriate and vex....

Photo of Boris the fat - Boris the bonker - meeting nice young innocent lady

caption - Boris meets student taking A levels
subtitile: do you like bonking? I love making babies! - I just had one, baby I mean, oh cripes - festina lente as Catullus said ......

I think I may have understood some of what was just said.
But I'm not sure I should have admitted it.

[SiiiiiimpleMe]

Haha, nice example.

But no offense Pi, I just read the explanation from WIKI -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtitles#Closed_captions, mainly talking about video captioning/subtitling.

So, captioning is to provide more non-speech elements for better visual understanding.
