Who creates closed captioning?

Following a 5-0 vote to adopt a second order that clarifies captioning requirements, the FCC moved to have video producers and distributors take responsibility for caption quality.

What do you call a person who writes captions?

“Captioner” sounds a little odd in my opinion. After a quick search I’ve found captionist, caption writer, subtitler, subtitle writer, and there’s certainly a few others as well. The upshot is, I don’t think there’s a standard term. I’d probably go with “captionist” or “caption writer”. 5.
