I have Closed Captions / Subtitles on all the time, I cannot watch any movie or show made in the last 10-15 years without it (I would hear 20% - 90% of the dialogue otherwise).

Don't find CC distracting any more, and as an added bonus I am enjoying a lot more foreign content because I'm using CC anyway so why not.



> foreign content because I'm using CC anyway so why not

and then you get to experience the phenomenon where you forget that a movie was foreign at all because you knew what everyone was saying just as well as if they were speaking in english


CC is a transcription. They are not translations.


Closed captioning can provide translations.

If it was specific to transcription historically, it no longer is today.
