It seems that dialogue is getting harder and harder to understand. Shouldn't our access to subtitles be getting easier? This one change could make it so.
Have you noticed it’s getting harder to understand what actors are saying? No, you’re not getting old . And no, it’s not a problem with that soundbar you just spent hundreds of dollars on. The sad reality is that, for a multitude of reasons, movie and TV show dialogue is getting harder to understand.
One solution for multiple problems Yes, that’s a defeatist suggestion. It effectively says to the guilty parties, go ahead, keep destroying our ability to figure out what actors are saying, we’ll just reach for our remotes and read the words instead. And yet, it solves more than one issue. First, some background: subtitles and closed captions are similar , but they have different purposes and different technical implementations.
Basic subtitles — the ones that you can access via streamed shows and movies, or on YouTube — exist to provide a readable version of the on-screen dialogue, typically in a different language than the soundtrack. These subtitles assume the viewer can hear the audio, but may not be able to understand the words being spoken.
A simple answer to a complicated question Now, back to the remote control question. If having a one-button toggle for subtitles is as much of a no-brainer as it seems, why doesn’t it already exist?
