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.
