【請教】關於Closed Caption
 

請問對CC有研究的大大
為什麼幾乎所有的Closed Caption都是大寫的呢？
很難閱讀耶
小弟要寫報告，麻煩大大相助

嗯,我之前就注意過了,我也想知道,推一下:think:

我對於全部大寫的英文字看了也很頭痛~~~~努力看字幕，看完畫面就
閃過了，兩邊都顧不到。:nonono:

對呀
大寫CC→視網膜→大腦語言中樞→轉換小寫字母→翻譯訊息→理解
再加上電影畫面的處理
哇.......我的腦袋CPU不夠快，記憶體也不足，無法負荷啦
實在想不透大寫字母到底有什麼好處
聽障朋友對小寫字母應該也是比較熟悉呀！
有沒有專家可以解惑呢？

看cc碼確是粉累人! 心情煩躁時乾脆把它關掉! 大家不提, 都沒注意全是大寫的:shy:

我也想知道 Jasonyu 兄的疑問 ...
如果把問題丟到美國那邊的討論區，會不會就有答案了呢？

已有解答∼

原文如下，有興趣的朋友可看看。

Why is captioning almost always in uppercase (capitals)?
Numerous studies have shown that mixed-case text is easier to read than all uppercase. Virtually all captioning in North America is done in uppercase only, however, because the resolution of the caption decoders caused some pretty ugly lowercase letters. For example, there are no descenders available for the lowercase i, j, g, q, and y. This means that these letters are pushed up on the line relative to the other letters, making it harder to read.

Some of the newer televisions, however, have very attractive lowercase letters with true descenders, but this can't be assumed as a standard.

Mixed-case text is often used to indicate whispering, and is also often used for text that needs to be set apart, such as comments by an off-screen announcer (voice-over), or sound effects.

Caption decoders and televisions were not required by law to support lowercase letters at all until just a few years ago. There are, therefore, some televisions that will change mixed-case text to all uppercase.

ellielin兄真厲害, 這也找到! 佩服!:p

感謝、感謝
原來是這個原因喔
我原先還以為是因為垂直遮沒帶的訊號沒辦法Carry out不同的字體
所以才會都是大寫
但我覺得這個問題應該不難改進才對呀

我看SEX AND THE CITY第三季也有同樣的問題,
看第一跟第二季時因為有SUBTITLE, 有大小寫, 所以看起來還不算費力
可是一看到第三季真的是很累...都是大寫的, 一個頭兩個大
