You Need to Try Netflix's New Subtitle Option: Here's Why
1 min read
Summary
Netflix is launching a new type of caption to help viewers to follow the dialogue in TV shows and films more easily.
The new feature displays dialogue-only captions, without descriptive sounds or speaker names, which can often distract users from what is being said.
The new option will be available from the final season of Netflix’s hit show You, and the streaming service says it plans to roll it out to all new Netflix originals going forward.
Users will be able to access the new caption functionality by selecting the English subtitle option, rather than the current default of English (CC), from the language picker.
Almost half of Netflix’s viewers utilise subtitles, according to the firm, either due to hearing difficulties, or to concentrate better on the dialogue.
