Caption reporter: Report videos without captions to the FCC and YouTube

Caption reporter is a free Chrome add-on developed by Lin Taylor. It falls under the category of Browsers with a subcategory of Add-ons & Tools. This extension is designed to assist users in reporting videos on YouTube that do not have closed captions, as required by the Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010.

The main purpose of Caption reporter is to ensure that video programming, which is closed captioned on TV in the US, is also closed captioned when distributed on the Internet. If you come across a YouTube video that you believe should have captions but does not, this extension provides a convenient way to report it to both the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and YouTube's internal report system.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
