-Closed captions are a textual representation of a voice or video conversation that is displayed to users in real-time. Azure Communication Services Closed captions offer developers the ability to allow users to select when they wish to toggle captions on or off. These captions are only available during the call/meeting for the user that has selected to enable captions, Azure Communication Services does **not** store these captions anywhere. Here are main scenarios where Closed Captions are useful:

 ## Common use cases
 
 ### Building accessible experiences
-Accessibility – For people with hearing impairments or who are new to the language to participate in calls and meetings. A key feature requirement in the Telemedical industry is to help patients communicate effectively with their health care providers. This can also be useful when you have scenarios where users might be joining from a PSTN phone number, this will allow your application to receive the captioning data for those users too so that everyone's input is available during these interactions.

A key feature requirement in the Telemedical industry is to help patients communicate effectively with their health care providers. This feature can also be useful when you have scenarios where users might be joining from a public switched telephone network (PSTN) phone number. Now your application can receive the captioning data for those users too so that everyone's input is available during interactions.

+### Teams interoperability
+
 Use Teams – Organizations using Azure Communication Services and Teams can use Teams closed captions to improve their applications by providing closed captions capabilities to users. Those organizations can keep using Microsoft Teams for all calls and meetings without third party applications providing this capability. Learn more about how you can use captions in [Teams interoperability](../interop/enable-closed-captions.md) scenarios.
 
 ### Global inclusivity 
-Provide translation – Use the translation functions provided to provide translated captions for users who may be new to the language or for companies that operate at a global scale and have offices around the world, their teams can have conversations even if some people might not be familiar with the spoken language.
