A subtitle is text derived from either a transcript or screenplay of the dialogue or commentary in films, television programs, video games, and the like, usually displayed at the bottom of the screen. They can either be a transcription of the dialogue (helpful for the deaf and hard of hearing) or a translation into a different language. Beyond just dialogue, subtitles can provide cultural context or even be used for comedic effect, as famously seen in the film Annie Hall , where subtitles reveal the characters' unspoken thoughts.
