- "subtitles": Transcription

but for whom it is not fully usable as intended (for example, for
users who do not understand the language of the soundtrack).
- "captions": Transcription or
translation of the dialogue, sound effects, relevant musical
cues, and other relevant aural information in the video or audio
stream; intended for cases where users do not have any access
at all to the soundtrack (for example, for users who are deaf or
for the case when the soundtrack is currently muted).
- "descriptions": Textual
descriptions of the visual component of a video; meant for use
with audio synthesis when the visual component is unavailable
(for example, for users who are blind, or for users who are
currently unable to view the screen on which the video is
displayed—for example, a user accessing the video while driving a
car).

titles.
