What is the name of the writing that appears on the screen when watching television?


When watching the news and other shows on television, I often see various
written content displayed on the screen for brief periods of time, usually on
the bottom, but sometimes on the right. I just learned that in English it is
called closed captioning. I saw the term on Jisho, before posting. It is used
frequently on news programs on a daily basis. Is there a Japanese term for
this word? What is this content called?




**テロップ** (from English [_telop_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telop)) is the
generic word for any type of superimposed text on TV, and it's understood by
everyone. You can see many テロップ's in the image below, at the top, right, left
and bottom of the screen.

**字幕** ("subtitle") is another common word, but it basically only refers to a
transcription or translation of what the person on screen is saying.
