  1. A broadcaster's QA log shows captions are consistently delivered 4–5 seconds after the corresponding audio during live news. Which FCC quality standard is most directly at issue?

    Answer: Synchrony

    A 4–5 second caption lag is a synchrony problem, as captions must appear in close temporal alignment with the audio they represent.

  2. Under FCC rules, which type of programming has the most stringent captioning compliance expectations?

    Answer: Pre-recorded programming

    Pre-recorded programming is held to the most stringent standards because producers have time and resources to review and correct captions before broadcast.

  3. A captioning quality review finds that a program's captions frequently use 'inaudible' to fill segments where speech was understandable. This is a violation of which standard?

    Answer: Accuracy

    Labeling speech as 'inaudible' when it is actually understandable is an accuracy error because the caption does not faithfully represent what was said.

  4. How long must a video programming owner/distributor retain records of captioning complaints under FCC rules?

    Answer: 2 years

    FCC rules require that records related to captioning complaints be retained for a period of two years.

  5. Which programming category is explicitly exempt from FCC closed captioning requirements?

    Answer: Public service announcements shorter than 10 minutes

    The FCC provides an exemption for public service announcements shorter than 10 minutes that are not paid for by the federal government.

  6. A QA specialist is reviewing captions for a live courtroom broadcast. Speaker labels are used inconsistently — sometimes 'JUDGE,' sometimes nothing. Which best practice is being violated?

    Answer: Speaker identification consistency

    Consistent speaker identification is a key captioning quality practice, ensuring viewers always know who is speaking, especially in multi-speaker environments.

  7. When a captioner edits out filler words like 'um' and 'uh' in a news broadcast, this technique is referred to as:

    Answer: Clean captioning (edited for readability)

    Clean captioning removes non-meaningful filler words to improve readability while still conveying the full meaning of what was said.
