So caption text is a text that appears or is under the image. According to Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary, caption is brief text over or under a picture in a book, magazine, or newspaper that describes the picture or explains what the people in it are doing or saying. Captions are also useful for explaining about an image. Some pictures will have a greater impact if they are described with pictures. The social function of caption text is to describe, comment on pictures, photos, tables, graphs, charts.
