undertekninger

Undertekninger, also known as subtitles, are textual representations of spoken dialogue and other audible elements in a video. They are typically displayed at the bottom of the screen, synchronized with the audio. Undertekninger serve various purposes, including making content accessible to individuals with hearing impairments, aiding language learners by providing a written form of the dialogue, and assisting viewers in understanding content in noisy environments or when the audio quality is poor.

There are generally two types of undertekninger: closed captions and open captions. Closed captions are embedded in the video stream and can be turned on or off by the viewer. They often include not only dialogue but also descriptions of sound effects and music. Open captions, on the other hand, are permanently burned into the video and cannot be turned off.

The creation of undertekninger involves a process called transcription, where the audio is converted into text, followed by timing and formatting to ensure synchronization with the video. Translation of undertekninger is also common, allowing content to reach a wider international audience. The accuracy and quality of undertekninger are crucial for effective communication and accessibility. Many platforms and services now offer undertekninger in multiple languages for their video content.
