My husband struggles with subtitles... he's dyslexic. As around one in ten people are, that's going to be a lot of people who struggle with subtitles for very good reasons. Though personally I like them, but then I'm a bit deaf!!

I work in English every day, yet I struggle to understand dialogue on recent movies. Audio is so weird, very loud music and effects, very low dialogue!

I am a bit deaf, so i like subtitles. But i just watched a British show based in Edinburg. They must have used AI because there were lots of mis- captures and some "[unintelligible]". So now you know, when the machines rise up, we can all speak with Scottish accent and they wont know what we are saying.

I'm sorry, my Turkish, Russian, Norwegian and German are all a little rusty.

I have to have subtitles on even when I watch any British show because some of their accents are unintelligible.

I can't read fast.. and reading subtitles I'm always focused on the words

Imagine TV and movies having dialog that's intelligible and isn't buried under the music or sound effects.

Anyone intimidated by subtitles is intimidated by intelligence.

subtitles distract me, i can read them fast enough but if they're on i'll spend the whole time reading them an not watching the show

I don't like watching dubbed things so yeah i use subtitles.

Watching Outlander made me start using subtitles. That Scottish accent was thick!

I can't understand the English language sometimes. It's my first language I just occasionally struggle with it. I love subtitles but my sister hates them lol. She has to deal with it tho.

I love subtitles. You will often find extra information in them. And it helps me remember character names.

I have hearing loss. I am so thankful for subtitles. And, not to sound snarky, but I'm an avid reader and read 2 or 3 novels a week.

I mean.. How else would you watch a movies in language you don't know? There is NOTHING worse then dub so what is left are subtitles.

My husband and I agree on YES, subtitles. We're both pretty fast readers, and current trends in sound mixing have too much "background" noise drowning out dialogue. Doesn't help that actors don't seem to enunciate any more, either. Neither of us has any known hearing problems, I'm nearly 55, he's 61.

Subtitles are required for shows like House of the Dragon where there are 456 characters and all the names are similar

"Ominous music start to play"

I used to live abroad as a teenager, and going to the cinema, when they played them in English, they had subtitles with the local language (in this instance, in Thai). Now I can't watch something without subtitles as I'm used to seeing writing at the bottom of the screen.

I like subtitles, have minor hearing damage plus sometimes the volume varies so much.

When my oldest was a wee toddler I started using subtitles as an aid to his reading education. I figured if we were watching something he may as well see the words too. It worked with both my kids, they both were reading well before there peers. Howevw we ended up with the unintended result of none of us being able to watch TV without subtitles to this day. (21 years later!)

Also somewhat deaf, subtitles save me from cranking the sound up to earthshaking. Some subs are still too fast for someone trying to hear and read at the same time.

I watch everything with subtitles! Sometimes you can't understand the actors.

I concentrate better with subtitles. I have ADHD

I could never understand those who read movies whereas peeps just who don't like to read books says that they will wait till the movie comes out.

Please stop showing messages on mobiles, I can't see it. If I go to the TV, message gone. Cruel

Subtitles allow you the opportunity to turn the sound off entirely.

In this age of sound effects being MUCH louder than speech, they're almost a necessity. Especially if you're hard of hearing.

I'm convinced

English is my second language. I often use subtitles so that I don't miss anything.

I hate subtitles for exactly that reason. I can't watch the picture and read the words, it's one or the other, never both.

it's the exact opposite for me.. I read much faster than they speak and the whole thing feels "off" :')

I'm bilingual (Greek English) and I never "learned" to read subtitles as a kid because all the films I watched were either in Greek or in English. As an adult, it took me a while to get used to them, although I do read really fast.

I struggle with languages I don’t understand, so subtitles are great. I can read and look at the same time too.

I keep the volume down when streaming movies and shows... Like subtitle option.

And...? I don't want to read a movie, I want to watch it.

I hate subtitles, why do I want to be looking at the words instead of the action??

I hate subtitles because I end up focusing on the stupid words and miss 97% of whatever I'm watching.

I've never used subtitles
