Is calling subtitles "the transcript" a regional variation I've never heard before, or are you just stretching things to make a point?
- labster 5y agoNo, and no. TV captions are not typically called transcripts, but they are in fact transcripts. They are not the script, because the director changes things and the actors ad lib. In fact, things get pretty dissonant when they try using the script as captions. Captions transcribe — copy language into a different form — the spoken dialogue into the written word.
