As such captioning of documentaries requires a multifaceted-multilingual approach towards captioning to get their ideas discussed and upfront.

Considering over 5% of the world’s population – 466 million people – have hearing loss and that number is thought to climb up to 900 million by 2050, documentaries will find a wider base if they were to provide captions to go along with it. Also, captioning is a great way to attract a non-native audience – who might not be familiar with dialects, accents, and tone used in the documentary.
