I don’t know about you, but I use closed captioning. Sometimes, you miss a word, and CC helps you understand what you didn’t hear.
Before today, we only knew what dialogue we were missing, but Netflix is changing this up.
From You, which is streaming its final season, on, all new titles will come with a second CC option. When you open the language picker while watching the new season, you’ll now see two subtitle options in English: English, which shows only the spoken dialogue, and English (CC), which includes both dialogue and audio cues like [door slams]. And we’re not stopping at English — these subtitles will be available on all new Netflix originals in every language we offer in addition to SDH/CC going forward.
So, it is like audio description for the hearing-impaired.
On a side note, AD is good when you are watching something in another language and don’t want to read the subtitles. They translate it for you! Now, I have no problem watching foreign language programs that have not been dubbed into English.
